-    if (fout && ((fout != stdout) ? (fclose(fout) != 0) :
-       (fflush(fout) != 0 && errno != EBADF))) {
-       zwarnnam(name, "write error: %e", errno);

+#ifdef HAVE_OPEN_MEMSTREAM

+       /* Testing EBADF special-cases >&- redirections */
+       if ((fout != stdout) ? (fclose(fout) != 0) :
+           (fflush(fout) != 0 && errno != EBADF)) {
+           zwarnnam(name, "write error: %e", errno);
+           ret = 1;
+       }
     return ret;
 }

This would make it very clear that fout can only be NULL in one very
particular case, and also leaves the main EBADF thing the same as the
other places in the function... (sorry for bikeshedding so much over
this). Which of these do you prefer?
