There is a funny story related to that though :) "BSD avoids EINTR entirely and provides a more convenient approach: to restart the interrupted primitive, instead of making it fail." BSD does, but the Mach/XNU kernel combo on OS X is not. Which is why all the shipped BSD tools have that bug, but if you run their GNU equivalents on OS X everything work as expected.
