[Patch #1514544 by David Watson] use fsync() to ensure data is really on disk
Should I backport this change to 2.5.1? Con: The patch adds two new internal functions, _sync_flush() and _sync_close(), so it's an internal API change. Pro: it's a patch that should reduce chances of data loss, which is important to people processing mailboxes.
Because it fixes a small chance of potential data loss and the new functions are prefixed with _, my personal inclination would be to backport this change.
Comments? Anthony, do you want to pronounce on this issue?
