Only reloads once per file on ubuntu #264

This happens on Ubuntu but not on my Mac.

I'm running this command:

watchify -o app/bundle.js -v -d app

with node v0.12.7 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and watchify 3.4.0

Initially I see a 

2403040 bytes written to app/bundle.js (3.47 seconds)

Then I change a file and I see a:

2402989 bytes written to app/bundle.js (0.39 seconds)

but on any further changes to the same file nothing. If I change another file, there is one more write to bundle.js, but nothing on further changes to the file.

That seems like a watcher (chokidar) problem - since it affects one platform and not another. You can try to see if polling helps in Ubuntu, otherwise, I suggest you see what you find in chokidar.
