Bug #9780: sysread blocks when reading some files (AIX)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9780#change-46352

* Author: Kevin Burge
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: core
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [powerpc-aix7.1.0.0]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
This hangs when running on AIX 7 build of Ruby 2.1.1:

test_sysread:
<pre>
filename = "/proc/#{Process.pid}/as"
File.open(filename, 'rb') do |f|
  p f.sysread(4)
end
</pre>

Ruby 1.9.3-p286 does not do this.  If I simply change f.sysread to f.read, it does not block.
