[PATCH resend] sed: check errors writing file with sed -i

[Dominique Martinet]

From: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet at atmark-techno.com>

sed would currently not error if write failed when modifying a file.

This can be reproduced with the following 'script':
$ sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs -o size=1M /tmp/m
$ sudo chmod 777 /tmp/m
$ echo foo > /tmp/m/foo
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/m/fill bs=4k
dd: error writing '/tmp/m/fill': No space left on device
256+0 records in
255+0 records out
1044480 bytes (1.0 MB, 1020 KiB) copied, 0.00234567 s, 445 MB/s
$ busybox sed -i -e 's/.*/bar/' /tmp/m/foo
$ echo $?
0
$ cat /tmp/m/foo
<empty>

new behaviour:
$ echo foo > /tmp/m/foo
$ ./busybox sed -i -e 's/.*/bar/' /tmp/m/foo
sed: write error
$ echo $?
4
$ cat /tmp/m/foo
foo

(Denys, sorry for double-resend -- I didn't understand why I had sent this
from my personal address last time but the list blocks non-subscriber
mails... resending from this address again...)

Not getting any reply to whether I should resend last month, so
resending in doubt...

FWIW this has been applied on alpine shortly after sending the patch
(mid Nov), there hasn't been any problem that I've heard about.
