Thank you!

Nope, you've got it!

I can handle printf returning the number of characters printed, that
can be useful.  It was returning a negative value on a successful
write and that's offending me.

I wanted my new version of yes to be sure to die painlessly and
successfully when its output closed (as in, the pipe it was writing to
was closed by the reading program) so I was careful to inspect what
printf returns.  

I think the Krieder printf() doesn't return anything specifically, so
I end up with whatever happens to be in D at rts.
