Under a high load and while resizing the terminal window, I received the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bitbake/bin//bitbake", line 263, in <module>
    ret = main()
  File "/bitbake/bin//bitbake", line 252, in main
    return server.launchUI(ui_main, server_connection.connection, server_connection.events)
  File "/bitbake/lib/bb/server/process.py", line 269, in launchUI
    return bb.cooker.server_main(self.cooker, uifunc, *args)
  File "/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 1407, in server_main
    ret = func(*args)
  File "/bitbake/lib/bb/ui/knotty.py", line 385, in main
    if stdin_mgr.poll():
error: (4, 'Interrupted system call')

Interrupted system calls from a sigwinch are certainly possible and the
right thing to do is just restart the system call, or in this case,
punt and wait until the next poll cycle.

(LOCAL REV: NOT UPSTREAM)
