Hmmm...how *could* those be related? The only thing I can think of is
lazy C programmers thinking "write() can't fail", but I can't see how
that would lead to a segfault. (On-disk data corruption, yes, much
head-scratching, yes, hard to find bugs, yes, but it shouldn't effect
cause the program to segfault.)
