Bug 896 - Avoid race conditions reading message from exited process
Patch based on extensive work from Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@novell.com>, thanks to Dafydd Harries <dafydd.harries@collabora.co.uk>, Kimmo Hämäläinen <kimmo.hamalainen@nokia.com> and others. The basic idea with this bug is that we effectively ignore errors on write. Only when we're done reading from a connection do we close down a connection. This avoids a race condition where if a process (such as dbus-send) exited while we still had data to read in the buffer, we'd miss that data. (cherry picked from commit 0e36cdd54964c4012acec2bb8e598b85e82d2846)
