More generally, Unix/POSIX lacks a good event-based interface which can detect non-file-like events; many things map to signals, which can be sort of handled gracefully with some hackery in C but are not handled particularly well by GHC's runtime.
I guess you miss the Linux-only signalfd/eventfd, right? -- Regards, Feri.
