curl handles EINTR wrong

[Grzegorz Gutowski]

Our application using libcurl for http communication was behaving awkward and after thorough investigation we found that in some cases it doesn't retry a poll after EINTR. Later we found, that this is a bug in libcurl and that it was repaired in this upstream patch:
