. Given the importance of writing complete files for svn, could somebody
take a look and see if this is a valid issue].
I was looking at apr_file_flush() and think I found a bug where if write()
doesn't do a full write, then the apr_file_t will destroy and buffered data
because it sets its internal buffer position back to 0.
Yeah, that looks like a bug.
Here's a patch for this:

+ memmove(thefile->buffer,
+ thefile->buffer + written,
+ thefile->bufpos - written);
+ thefile->bufpos -= written;
}
}
Beyond this, there's no a mechanism to report that all the buffered data
didn't get into the file. Perhaps apr_file_flush() should loop until the
entire buffer is written or it gets a non-EINTR error?
I think it you're right, it should loop around. Good catch!
Thanks!
Who here can commit to apr?
