Summary: make sure patches get written to disk

Initial Comment:
there is a very long standing (reported for pd-0.36cvs!) bug-report in debian (debian-bug#203288), claiming:
<snip>
pd: no error given when saving to a filesystem that is full

When trying to save to a filesystem that is full, a 0 byte file is
written and no error is given.
</snip>

with Pd-0.43, i get an error when saving too big patches on the filsystem in most cases (great), but some (e.g. creating a new empty patch, save that on the full fileystem) still reports everything as correct, even though only a 0 byte file gets written.

a simple solution (attached) is to call fflush() at the end of binbuf_write() and check it's return value for success.
