I took a look at your patch but it didn't seem right to me.

You were asking about circumventing the 'ready_for_read' code and,
since fhandler_tty_slave::read has the ability to detect a signal,
removal of fhandler_tty_slave::ready_for_read is the right way to
go, AFAICT.  So, I did that.

That meant that I just had to get rid of the

  if (vmin == 0)
    time_to_wait == INFINITE

lines in fhandler_tty::ready_for_read, for things to work correctly.
I wrote a test program and it worked the same way on linux and
cygwin after my patch.

Thanks for looking into this.
