Can you just say a little more about why you think 

setbuffer(fp, buf, sizeof(buf)) 

is superior to, say, 

setvbuf(fp, NULL)

Yes, I suppose that there is potentially less buffer copying involved with 
the former way of doing things, but is there anything else?

For what it's worth, I like the idea of your patch that would make the 
setbuffer() step implicit.

Cheers,

Michael
