Bug#818: echo builtin doesn't check for write errors

["Buddha M. D. Buck" <bmbuck@acsu.buffalo.edu>]

As of 1.14.6-4, this bug is still there... maybe

$ type echo
echo is a shell builtin
$ echo foo >/dev/full
$ echo $?
0
$ cat /dev/zero >/dev/full
cat: write error: No space left on device
$ echo $?
1
$ /bin/echo foo >/dev/full
$ echo $?
0
$ file /bin/echo    
/bin/echo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, stripped
$ 

The built-in version of echo is faithfull reproducing what the
binary version does.  

If they are both in error, should another bug be filed for
shellutils?  The manpage for echo makes no mention whatsoever
of return values.
