"No such file or directory" is ENOENT, which isn't among the errors
which write() can return. That suggests that write() is succeeding,
but returning a short count (i.e. it wrote some data, not all of it). 
I suspect that a subsequent write() will result in an actual error and
indicate the cause, but write_error() only reports the first error (so
that you don't get thousands of them).

Can you revert the previous patch with:

	patch -R -p0 < write_errno.patch

then apply the attached patch with:

	patch -R -p0 < write_errors.patch

and re-compile.

That should cause it to print more than one error.

Also, can you provide the output from:

	ls -l /usr4/grassbase/Oregon/PERMANENT/cell/demOR

BTW, do you get similar errors with other commands using the same
region, e.g.:

	r.mapcalc 'test = rand(9999)'
?
