It is a bug in the "stdio" code path, independently of buffer size.  That
bug doesn't trigger on GNU/Linux, btw.

Make sure you test the stdio code path, if they changed the sematics of
RCS_MEM_LIMIT again, then you may need a different demonstrator to switch to
stdio from the usual mmap code path.
