This actually raises an interesting question.  Maybe the buffering
should depend on the call used?  (f)fprintf, for example, might want to
line-buffer, but fwrite block-buffer?

I'm far from sure of this - I've used fwrite often enough for text
output, for example - but perhaps something along those lines could be
useful to think about.
