Yeah, these are the same guys who chose to implement select() to only
work on sockets and not on plain file descriptors (for example you can't
make it work on a pipe).  This must be the single most far-reaching
change they did to POSIX compatibility.  It's incredibly idiotic and
problematic.  And note that it's not that it's deprecated -- it just
doesn't work at all :-(
