Aha.  Mac.

This is a Mac.  See that Warning line up there?  It is critical to
understanding the ioctl problem later on.  For some reason one
cannot poll() on stdin on a Mac.  No clue why, it works everywhere
else.  See the comments in
http://svn.osc.edu/repos/mpiexec/trunk/stdio.c (grep for TDARWIN).

Rebuild mpiexec with "--disable-poll" and see if things work.

Guess I should just check for Mac-ness in configure and disable
poll() because it is still broken.  Was sort of hoping they'd fix
that in a later OS release.
