Just a subtle reminder that this particular change does not seem to have
made it into 2.20.1. I've retrofitted xread into the NonStop port and will
be re-submitting it with the remaining platform changes assuming the test
suite runs at least as well as our last port at 2.17.0 (in progress as we
speak). We are down to four variances from standard code:

*    git-compat-util.h referencing FLOSS headers needed on platform.
*    this one (xread instead of read in transport-helper.c)
*    config.mak.uname specific settings for NonStop not currently present.
*    t/Makefile - have to comment out all test-lint dependencies because of
segfault at 2.20.1. (to be investigated but we don't submit this unless we
find a good fix)

Please stay tuned for patches. We are very much looking forward to having
the two (or three) different NonStop hardware personalities supported
without mods in the very near future. Our goal, assuming those patches are
acceptable, is to move our build/test/distro into a Jenkins config that runs
with minimal human involvement (a.k.a. me).

Cheers,
Randall
