commit dd757cc43a710204046919da2cecf5f3b72ba33c Author: Corinna Vinschen <cori...@vinschen.de> Date: Sun Mar 12 12:17:43 2017 +0100 Implement fhandler_dev_null::write to workaround a problem with NUL Windows NUL device returns only the lower 32 bit of the number of bytes written. Implement a fake write function to ignore the underlying NUL device.
