The problem is likely that uniform-array-read! will try to fill the
whole array, if necessary by doing more than one call to read(2).  The
first call will not block after select or poll has given the green
light for reading, but the second call might block (or not).

(In 1.8, uniform-vector-read! will make the guarantee to only call
read(2) once when you read from a file descriptor (and not a port)).
