This is true only for regular files. According to the The Single UNIX
Specification, Version 2, and related write() manual pages on systems
such as Solaris:
If nbyte is 0, write() will return 0 and have no other results if
the file is a regular file; otherwise, the results are unspecified.

I agree. Actually it should be quite easy to change OpenSSL so that
this problem is avoided (I just can't do this in the the 0.9.6 branch
because I have to extend the SSL structure, which will destroy binary
compatibility).
