commit ef6f20ce47613db7cc615b45f4b6fa1eb99ae0ba
Author:     Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

    tail: Retry kevent if the system call was interrupted
    
    kevent returns EINTR when I suspend / resume. This causes tail -f
    and tail -F to exit with interrupt system call. Ignore this error
    and try kevent again.
