This patch affects the IO manager using kqueue. See issue #7773. If the kqueue backend cannot wait for events on a file, it will simply call the registered callback for the file immediately. This is the behavior of the previous IO manager. This is not ideal, but it is an initial step toward dealing with the problem properly. Ideally, we would use a non-kqueue mechanism for waiting on files (select seems most reliable) that cannot be waited on with kqueue.
