Thanks for showing me, as although I had read the involved code I
didn't check at the restartable_io_error() function as it only seemed
like to check for EINTR, which is common in such loops (especially with
that function name).

This is not urgent, and can be done for a future major release, but it
probably would be nice to have as part of the condition the state of
ferror() and feof().  I might eventually submit a diff for this.

When I can I'll test if I can trigger the error and how CL code can
deal with it.

Thanks,
