What is the significance of 4K bytes in this case?  Is 'fwrite'
documented not to write more than that?  I couldn't find such
documentation.

And if 4KB is a limitation, then what does ERESTARTSYS have to do with
this?

Anyway, if we need to fix calls to 'fwrite', we should provide
something similar to emacs_write, and use it everywhere we use
'fwrite' now.
