Since there is no repeatable test case, and this is obviously wrong, this is
the most conservative change that might possibly work.  

The syscall  read()  wasn't checked for a negative return value for an
interrupted read.  The kernel  sys_read()  returns -EINTR, and the "library" 
layer maps that to return value of -1 and sets  errno  to EINTR.  It's 
impossible (on Linux) for  read()  to set errno EINTR without the return 
value being -1 .

So, if we're checking for EINTR behavior, we should not require that the
return value be zero.

Whenever 'myisamchk' needed to recreate a table,
the auto increment information was lost.

Now the forgotten element of the table creation
information is set correctly.

  Bug#16780: Extend port range to make space for 5.1 NDBCLUSTER_PORT_SLAVE

When setup_fields() function finds field named '*' it expands it to the list
of all table fields. It does so by checking that the first char of
field_name is '*', but it doesn't checks that the '* is the only char.
Due to this, when updating table with a field named like '*name', such field
is wrongly treated as '*' and expanded. This leads to making list of fields
to update being longer than list of the new values. Later, the fill_record() 
function crashes by dereferencing null when there is left fields to update,
but no more values.

Added check in the setup_fields() function which ensures that the field
expanding will be done only when '*' is the only char in the field name.

After-fix optimizations proposed and finally
implemented by Monty.
