_______________________________________________________
Details:
If you run a configure script with stdout pointed to a data sink that fails
all writes (e.g. `./configure > /dev/full` or `./configure 1< /dev/null`) you
get a flood of "printf: write error" messages, but the script runs all the way
to completion, and then it may or may not exit successfully depending on
exactly what you did.
The script should instead exit unsuccessfully after the first write error.
