Subject: [PATCH] notice read and write errors on input and output

Quoting from the bug report:
   bc (1.06-19ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
   * Make dc notice read and write errors on its input and output.
     I grepped for mentions of the strings `putc', `print', `getc',
     `FILE', `stdin', `stdout' and `stderr' and added calls to new
     error-checking functions unless it was clear from the
     immediately-surrounding code that the program was exiting
     nonzero, or would exit nonzero if the call failed.  I ignored
     hits in lib/getopt*, which seems to pervasively ignore write
     errors when printing usage messages, in the hope that these
     were correct.  I _think_ I got them all.  -iwj.
