Thanks for V5. It was tested OK on my system here.
(And apologies for recommending a wrapper on top of a wrapper).

One question is left: 
As xread() is tolerant against EAGAIN and especially EINTR,
could it make sense to replace read() with xread() everywhere?

(The risk for getting EINTR is smaller when we only read a small amount
of data, but it is more on the safe side)

And s/write/xwrite/
