Hi,

Package: BusyBox
Version: 1.0.0-pre10

When an incomplete read or write from/to a local file occurs (i.e.
not an EOF condition), the tftp client prematurely exits. This
problem can be reproduced by slowly piping data to the tftp client
like this:

  (for v in 1 2 3; do echo $v; sleep 1; done) | \
  tftp -p -l - -r output.txt <host>

The output file on the TFTP server will contain "1".

The attached patch provides a possible solution to this problem.

I can reproduce this on ARM sa1110 and ARM xscale boards, both
running Linux-2.6.4 & glibc-2.3.2. Thanks for the wonderful
program!
