Seemingly your glibc is more strict than the version on my
system. These warnings are from separate code I didn't write and which
my functions in "parallel" do not depend on. Since its former
maintainer is not active, I'm willing to keep this code compatible
with the evolving Octave (although I tend not to adapt it to the
development branch), but properly reacting to the return values of
read and write to get rid of these warnings would probably need some
rewriting.

Done.
