Might be a bug (dunno).  When I was browsing the source code to libc to
check out the limitiations of FSX, I found a few problems, one of which
was write() wouldn't work properly with binary(or text?) files. There
where a few other instances where I though the fsx routines should have
been called but weren't.

I'll dig out my notes again sometime soon and post a format bug report
(maybe even a fiz).
