Add code to read from master_fd in the parent, breaking when we get an OSError
(EIO can occur on Linux) or there's no more data to read. Without this, test_pty.py can hang on the waitpid() because the child is blocking on the stdout write. This will definitely happen on Mac OS X and could potentially happen on other platforms. See the comment for details.
