Thanks. I didn't get from your previous patch for fgetwc that there
was a problem in fgetws that you were trying to fix. Now it makes a
lot more sense.

I think the above has at least one bug though: errno and c will both
be uninitialized if n was zero going into the loop (possible if the
initial value of n at function entry was 1). The error handling logic
should probably just be moved inside the loop instead of breaking out
to do it.
