at least in some Windows versions, these functions are capable of returning
a failure indication without setting errno.  That puts us into an infinite
loop if the previous value happened to be EINTR.  Per report from Brendan
Hill.

Back-patch to 8.2.  We could take it further back, but since this is only
known to be an issue on Windows and we don't support Windows before 8.2,
it does not seem worth the trouble.
