Actually that is a pretty unusal behaviour for an interrupted system
call.  But close is special anyway.  I was not aware of that and Jim
didn't mentioned that in

 https://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/slides/jim-meyering-goodbye-world.pdf

but okay, that was just about stdio.

Anyway, fix pushed and I will also backport it to the other branches.


Shalom-Salam,
