Great!

DJ, do you need me to resend you the final patch (cc:'ed to workers a
few days ago), you do you have it already?

This is because whoever wrote those parts didn't trust the DJGPP
library ;-).  (Or maybe it's a left-over from v1.x or early v2.0
days.)  Current versions of `write' set	`errno' to ENOSPC
automatically.

What is the case where you see EBADF errors?  Is that with the
original djtar, before the patches in the last alpha release?  If not,
I'd like to know hoe to reproduce that problem.
