* files.c (write_file) - Fix problems with writing the backup file (albeit interactively)
	  with new function prompt_failed_backupwrite(), allows more secure handling of problems
	  with failing to write the backup file compared to 'allow_insecure_backup'.
	* winio.c (edit_redraw): Removed unused variable
