Missing an fclose(out), although that probably doesn't matter a lot in
practice

Also, we prefer to avoid putting `return' statements deep inside large
C functions as they can easily lead to resource leaks. Such as
forgetting to fclose(out) ;)

Dittoes.

Also, this patch would be neater if it added a little helper function
around fwrite(), rather than triplicating the same code sequence.
