[svn-commits] russell: trunk r48109 - /trunk/main/utils.c

New Revision: 48109

Log:
Go ahead and make this write unconditional.  Making it conditional is more work
in both the append and non-append modes.  Also, always truncating the partial
write makes the behavior of the function more consistent, where in any type of
write, no partial result is left in the buffer.

Thanks for the feedback, luigi
