`Io.String_path.lines_of_file` raises `Sys_error` rather than `Unix_error`, so the way we were handling errors in sys_poll would not correctly handle cases where files are missing. Since `Sys_error` does not provide information about the nature of the error, explicitly check that the file exists and is a regular file rather than relying on exceptions.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Wouldn't it be better to catch the Sys_error and then do the checks? That way the stat calls only happen on the exception case and don't need to be paid on every invocation of the function.
