And I like this even better ;-).

Gaah, that was unintentional. Just random noise I had in my tree, and 
didn't even realize made it into the patch.

That "close_or_die()" was because I saw somebody report a write error 
without the error string, apparently because the error only got reported 
on the close (probably NFS). This way you see if the reason the close 
failed was due to out of diskspace or whatever.

But I should have split them up properly - the close_or_die() part 
obviously had nothing to do with the O_BINARY part. Feel free to take it 
regardless, or split it yourself.
