Control: retitle -1 ecl: segfault when both stdout and stderr are full

Hi,
the originally reported problem is already fixed, i.e. only redirecting stderr
to /dev/full no longer causes a crash:
$ echo "syntax error" | ecl 2>/dev/full

However, the sagemath testsuite still triggers a related crash in ecl:
sage -t --long --random-seed=0 src/sage/interfaces/tests.py
**********************************************************************
File "src/sage/interfaces/tests.py", line 34, in sage.interfaces.tests
Failed example:
subprocess.call("echo syntax error | ecl", **kwds) in (0, 255)
Expected:
True
Got:
False
**********************************************************************
This crash is easy to reproduce:
$ ecl &> /dev/full
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Occasionally, similar crashes also occur in other sagemath tests, e.g.
src/sage/interfaces/lisp.py.
This can be reproduced as follows:
$ sage
sage: l = Lisp()
sage: l._start()
sage: l.quit()
The problem is that ecl crashes when it cannot write to both stdout and stderr.
Therefore I'm reusing this bug for that related problem.
There is already an open upstream issue about this (see the forwarded URL).

Ahzo
