I am not able to reproduce the problem.  I tried with a RHEL 4 system,
using exactly the kernel you listed (2.6.9-55.EL) on an i386 system.  I
tried against ext2, ext3, and an nfs mount exported from a RHEL 5
system.  I should note that I modified your program to detect short
writes and continue instead of reporting a bogus error.  I'll reiterate
that the value of errno is undefined if the library/system call did not
return -1.

I noticed that your test case used NFS.  What NFS server were you using?
Can you think of any other details that might affect the test?

Thanks,
Jeff
