Hi,

This is a patch against v0.7.12.  It is only compile tested.

fdopendir():
- POSIX defines EBADF if fd is invalid.  I suppose it is OK
  to assume fd is invalid if fstat() failed.
- fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) may fail (at least in theory).  If it
  fails, the consequences are not expected.

rewinddir(), seekdir():
- lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET) may fail too, I suppose it can be true for
  network file systems or FUSE fses.  Continuing the work with pos=-1 is
  somewhat not expected.

cuserid():
- POSIX says an argument may be NULL, in this case the buffer should be
  statically allocated.

forkpty():
- It should be guaranteed that master fd is closed, tty is setup, slave
  fd is dup'ed to 1,2,3.  The latter can be broken by setting small
  rlimit.  setsid() is checked for company :)  I think the only way to
  handle the failure is _exit().  While it may be not the best choise,
  however, continuing the work with half dropped privileges is more
  dangerous.

openpty():
- close() shouldn't change errno updated by failed ioctl()/open().
- I suppose the last calls to tcsetattr() and ioctl() may fail too.

realpath() (no patch):
- IMO the logic is wrong.  While opening the file and asking the kernel
  the full path is interesting, it won't work with not readable files.
  Also if a file is a device or tty the opening might have unexpected
  side effects.  I don't dare to reimplement it myself, though ;-)

_vsyslog():
- sendto() may fail in case of signal delivery.


I wonder what is the Right Way to handle close() failures in generic
case.  If it is fork'ish function, _exit() can be used.  If it is some
privilege dropping function, failure can be returned in errno, but the
task state (hanged/unclosed fd) is not expected by the caller.

More dangerous case is function that is not designed to return error at
all.  E.g. close() inside of closelog() may fail, but the caller cannot
be notified about it by design.  If the caller want to do chroot(),
which prevents re-opening log fd, the failure would break task's
expectation of dropped privileges (closed log fd).
