On Linux, the problem appears to be that we don't abort this infloop
in process.c if a read () returns EINVAL:

          while (true)
        {
          int nread = read_process_output (proc, wait_proc->infd);
          if (nread < 0)
            {
              if (errno == EIO || would_block (errno))
            break;
            }
          else
            {
              if (got_some_output < nread)
            got_some_output = nread;
              if (nread == 0)
            break;
              read_some_bytes = true;
            }
        }

That seems problematic to me, since we might get non-EIO errors for
other reasons. I'm attaching a patch that appears to fix the issue.
