If you consider stdio to be a low-level wrapper over syscalls
that only adds buffering and simple parsing, then passing EINTR
back to the application is a sensible choice. I wouldn't be
too surprised if L4, VxWorks, etc. do something similar.
- So I _think_ we're safe with just the "sigaction()" diff. Neither of the
- patches _should_ make any difference at all on a sane platform.
Anyone with an older HP/UX care to try these patches? HP/UX
may not be sane, but I think it may lack SA_RESTART. I don't
know if stdio calls need restarted, though.
