How about something closer to: Writes to disk files don't suffer EINTR as far as I've ever heard (if they do, there are an awful lot of broken programs out there). More to the point, a kernel that aborted a write because of an interrupt *and failed to set errno* would certainly be broken. The question is what to assume when we see that the write did not change errno. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
