Fix buffer overflow on interupted read
The tio_read() function will read past its buffer and return garbadge to the calling function if the call to read() was interrupted by a signal. The likelyhood of read() being interupted is low because previously a call to poll() has determined that data is available to be read. Thanks to John Sullivan for pointing this out. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003011
