Yeah, this really does look like broken macOS behaviour, as it should
be returning POLLNVAL instead.

I don't think we should go through the dispatch code when
we get EBADF, as the contents of the 'revents' fields are
undefined after we get an error.

We should jump straight to the end where we have
"eventLoop.running = 0;"

If any FDs were in fact ready, we'll get them on the next iteration of
the loop anyway.
