I understand the basics, I'd just would like to know the details in
this case.  fwrite could be interrupted by something, or it could
write only part of the buffer, or something else.

This is very old code, so it is surprising this only comes up now.
I'd rather we understood the issue completely before we decide how to
fix it.
