Attached patch handle EINTR (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
Right now, xpcshell exits gracefully whenever it gets a NULL return value from fgets(). However, there are valid NULL return values possible from fgets(), like when it's interrupted by a system call. 

This patch makes xpcshell not exit in those cases, which makes attaching to xpcshell in GDB possible.

I hit this every time I start developing on a mac again. What do we need to do to get this into the tree still?
