The
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dfprintf&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D=
0&manpat
h=3DFreeBSD+7-current&format=3Dhtml> fprintf manual page says it is ANSI =
C
compatible and it returns the number of characters printed.

The latter is correct: I get printf("abcd") =3D=3D 4 even under =
>/dev/full.
(uname is Interix on x86 ver. 3.5)

However, the former is not: according to the ANSI C standard
<http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1124.pdf> , =
=A77.19.6.1/14,
printf should return a negative value in this case.

I would like to make it a problem report so I send it for public review
first.
