There are a few places to check, but a lot less than before. Assuming I
should just die on any failed write (which seems reasonable), how do I
check for a failed write in a way that works on all Unixes? Is the
following OK:

- fwrite: ok if return value equals item count
- fprintf: ok if return value > 0.
- fputc: ok if != EOF
