Good analysis, thanks. It really strange that this bug was still there.
Note that I've checked in a slightly different patch. It must be
sufficient to use TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY since all the communication is
with pipes. If read/write would produce short reads or writes
something would be wrong in the kernel.
Thanks,
