Thanks! This was a really nice find. open_wmemstream intentionally
makes the stream unbuffered, and thereby doesn't even look at buffered
content in its write method, but doesn't take into account the fact
that, per commit bd57e2b43a5b56c00a82adbde0e33e5820c81164, vfprintf
installs a temporary buffer on unbuffered streams to avoid painfully
slow output on unbuffered streams where it would otherwise write a
byte or a field at a time rather than a whole "line" at once.
The attached patch analogous to what open_memstream does should fix
it. I'll commit soon after double-checking that it's right.
Thanks for the clear test case.
