>Description:
	Programs using fputws(3) generate an apparently infinite
	number of copies of the string passed to fputws().

	The code in src/lib/libc/stdio/fputws.c has no obvious mechanism
	for loop termination except in the case of an error.  This
	appears to be a regression introduced in r187302.

>How-To-Repeat:
	The following sample code generates an infinite series of "abc":
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int main(void)
{
    fputws(L"abc", stdout);
    putchar('\n');
    return(0);
}

>Fix:
	Not clear at present.
