Very tl;dr of you. ;-)

It looks like the Linux *I* have at least never fails to block on disk I/O 
even with O_NONBLOCK.  Run time of several minutes, system time of a second, 
user time of even less, and write() never returned less that writing a full 
buffer, so I guess that means you get to block for disk and (grumble) learn 
how to do Linux threading in C. :-)  Damn.
