Update:

During review it was pointed out that the Solaris write loop also uses
bufpos = -1 as an error sentinel even though bufpos is a size_t.

This wraps to SIZE_MAX, allowing the final return expression to
report success after a failed write.

The updated patch returns -1 directly on non-retryable write errors
instead of using a sentinel value.

Use the remaining byte count for retry writes and avoid using a
size_t sentinel for write failures.
