The patch does a lot more than this!  It also adds lots of handling of
previously-ignored errors.

And it thereby introduces possible back-compatibility issues.  Someone
who is doing "echo 42foo > wherever" will now get an error, whereas
they previously got 42.

So hm.  Probably a good patch and I'll stick it in -mm for testing, but
this should go upstream via tiwai, please.
