dd exit status bug (+fix)

[Steven M. Schultz]

File: /usr/src/bin/dd.c

Description:
	When dd(1) is writing an archive to tape, and
	encounters a write error or even an end of tape
	mark, it returns exit status 0, which spoils error
	checking in scripts and especially if it is the last
	command in a list.

Repeat-By:
	try it; or inspect code to see that term() always
	exits with zero.

Fix:
	Apply the following patch and recompile 'dd'.
