[patch] output of rsync -n truncated

As you can see, the output of the last command is truncated. The problem is that the output is written in non-blocking mode, and that when the write() returns EAGAIN, the output may be discarded. The attached patch adds a check for EAGAIN, and retries the write() after 20 msec, which
