And yet another point of view. Will be this regression corrected for 9.0 release ? Previously (in stable-8), the sbuf_finish() cleared the overflow error. It used to return void, and as noted previously, only 21 of 133 calls check return value of sbuf_finish(), i.e. only 1/6 have been migrated to new API semantics. What about restore clearing of error during sbuf_finish() for stable-9 and do the right thing in HEAD ?
