Details:
This patch corrects two problems observed in the 1.11.21 release of CVS on
AIX systems. The routine affected is stdio_buffer_shutdown() in
src/buffer.c. Two issues are corrected.
Firstly, the assertion if fstat() fails is removed -- on an AIX system,
fstat() will return -1 if the client has gone away unexpectedly. This being
an unfortunately common use case, an assertion for this state is
undesirable.
Secondly, this routine contained calls to error() using 1 as the first
parameter, which instructs the server to shut down. However, this routine is
active because the server is shutting down, and thus the 1 parameter causes an
infinite recursion. These calls have been changed to use 0 as the first
parameter.
