I've just downloaded the original c file (fprint-test.c), compiled, it, and it did produce the error.  fprintf still can return -1.

I suspect this is caused by a no-more-senders notification on the receive right of the filesystem root port, to which the client sent the message.  If you add sleep(2) after the mach_msg call in the client, so that it doesn't deallocate the send right before mach_msg times out in the server, then the EINTR doesn't happen on the first call.  (I didn't test more calls.)  The no-more-senders notification would be requested because trivfs_S_fsys_getroot calls ports_get_right.  The notification is handled in ports_do_mach_notify_no_senders.

If the EINTR only happens on the first call, that seems wrong.

Under certain circumstances, fprintf to stderr can return -1 with errno = EINTR.

Test program attached.
