I am Using Debian.
My main point was that as far as my C knowledge is, your program is not well
defined. The compiler is warning you about it:
[14:23:14 tmp]$ cc -Wall bug.c -o bug.c
bug.c: In function `main':
bug.c:8: warning: implicit declaration of function `write'
[14:23:33 tmp]$
Therefore, you can not claim that it is not correct. My suggestion on how to
make it well defined is to #include <unistd.h>. I have done this in my bug1.c
program and this has removed the compiler warning.
