                 "$syslog", thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen

                                                   re-raise it on
                                                   exit.
  (usplash_write): Do not close FIFO, instead, take an additional file
                   descriptor pointer to it and open only when needed
                   (all callers changed).  Abort immediately on EINTR.
                   Bug fix:  Add NUL byte on single-word commands.
                   Ignore "interrupted_by_signal".
