The "untwisted reactor" is the wrong entity to use if you want to be able 
to use OOB data.  You want to use something like:

     yield eventLoop.exceptional(stream); events.resume()

in a task, or else use 'eventLoop.exceptional(stream)' as an event source.

However, this will *not* be compatible with Twisted, unless you can supply 
a patch for peak.events.twisted_support.Selector that will allow 
that.  (Currently, there's an XXX comment denoting where this would have to 
go.)
