bugfix: potential problem (loop, abort) when file write error occured
When a write error occured in stream.c, variable iWritten had the error code but this was handled as if it were the actual number of bytes written. That was used in pointer arithmetic later on, and thus could lead to all sorts of problems. However, this could only happen if the error was EINTR or the file in question was a tty. All other cases were handled properly. Now, iWritten is reset to zero in such cases, resulting in proper retries.
