Somewhere between c4609291c334e2f5f5b87b8dc37e68a958bfb378 and 28b0f9fb414370ecd61b93722bfd7d129ea009a8 a change was made that causes the CPU load when running `cec-client` on OS X to be excessive (~100% CPU usage).

This range was found using git bisect, but unfortunately there isn’t much within that range that compiles cleanly on OS X.

When I get a chance I will investigate further but in the mean time perhaps someone may know exactly what the root cause of the issue is...
