I got access to AIX on the compile farm,
and confirmed there that tail-2/pipe-f.sh does infact fail for me.
So that's consistent with the misc/tee.sh failure at least.
Also I confirmed that the older tail code before the iopoll refactoring also 
fails.
In fact I can't determine a way (with poll or select) to detect closed output 
on AIX.
So the attached avoids testing that functionality on AIX.
