Sorry, I don't see the bug here.  The calling
code should look like this:

   size_t r = full_read (fd, buf, n);
   if (r != n)
     {
        if (errno == 0)
          handle_end_of_file ();
        else
          handle_error (errno);
     }

Is this how Guile works?  If not, then it should probably
be changed to work like that.  If so, then can you explain
what the bug is, from Guile's point of view?
