Content
The patch limits os.write to writing at most INT_MAX bytes on OSX. Buffered I/O using open("/some/file", "wb") should still write all data (at least according to the limited tests I've done so far). The same limitation is already present on Windows. And as I wrote before: os.write may accoding to the manpage for write(2) already write less bytes than requested. I'm -1 on using an explicit exception or printing a warning about this.
