commandhelper hangs indefinitely in poll() on macOS on commandtest test2
and later because POLLNVAL is returned on revents for input file
descriptor opened from /dev/null, i.e this hangs:
$ tests/commandhelper < /dev/null
BEGIN STDOUT
BEGIN STDERR
^C
But it works fine with regular stdin:
$ tests/commandhelper <<< test
BEGIN STDOUT
BEGIN STDERR
test
test
END STDOUT
END STDERR
The issue is mentioned in poll(2):
BUGS
The poll() system call currently does not support devices.
With the change all 28 cases in commandtest pass.
