It is unusual for non-main threads to wait for keyboard input
descriptor. You shouldn't rely on that because it can only work very
rarely, if at all, and when it does, you are likely to see serious
problems. Normally, the 'pselect' call issued by a non-main thread
will not mark the keyboard descriptor as being waited for.
At least, that's my understanding of the code and its implications.
