Re: [PATCH] Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpful

I was planning to push this out to 'master' this weekend.

I think that code is fine, but switching the order around could probably 
make it less likely that stdio loses the errno for us. 

So doing the last part in a different order, and making it say

	/* Check for ENOSPC and EIO errors.. */
	if (fflush(stdout))
		die("write failure on standard output: %s", strerror(errno));
	if (ferror(stdout))
		die("unknown write failure on standard output");
	if (fclose(stdout))
		die("close failed on standard output: %s", strerror(errno));
	return 0;

may recover at least non-transient errors.

That makes sense, to a certain degree, given that we do not
check every printf().  I'll forge your signature as usual ;-)

Thanks.
