Hello everybody!
I've got a little confused with fprintf() and fwrite(). They don't
report me that error 217 (file segment list full) occured. ferror()
didn't say anything, too. I rewrote the section, using write() and now
it seems to work nice. Is this a bug or a feature?
Greetings
Sepp

Is this a bug or a feature? If an error happens, it should be reported. fprintf() and fwrite() won't notice errors until they actually try to do I/O--if they're just filling up the buffer, they can't tell whether the segment list is full. That might cause them to not complain as early as one might expect, but they will complain eventually. James Jones
