write-region bombs in emacs 23
$ emacs --batch --eval '(write-region (format "%S" emacs-version) nil 
"/dev/tty" nil :quietly nil nil)'
"23.0.50.1"IO error writing /dev/tty: Invalid argument

works fine in emacs 21
$ emacs --batch --eval '(write-region (format "%S" emacs-version) nil 
"/dev/tty" nil :quietly nil nil)'
"21.3.3"
