Hm, looks to me like the select() error path at isolationtester.c:717
ought to consider EINTR as a retryable case. Curious though that we
have not seen this in the buildfarm ... unless maybe this explains the
failures-with-no-output that have been seen on some of the Windows
critters? But you'd think we'd see the "select failed:" message if so.
