    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The frcode and code programs use the gnulib closeout module, so write errors
at exit time are detected.  However, failures of calls to fputs(), fwrite()
and so forth are not detected during the main program loop.

This is now fixed in the CVS code for findutils-4.3.x.
