+ * If the output file descriptor is connected to a tty (the typical case) it
+ * will probably be line-buffered. Keith Bostic pointed out that we don't want
+ * this; it hoses people running over networks by forcing out a bunch of small
+ * packets instead of one big one, so screen updates on ptys look jerky.
+ * Restore block buffering to prevent this minor lossage.
+ *
+ * The buffer size is a compromise. Ideally we'd like a buffer that can hold
+ * the maximum possible update size (the whole screen plus cup commands to
+ * change lines as it's painted). On a 66-line xterm this can become
+ * excessive. So we min it with the amount of data we think we can get through
+ * two Ethernet packets (maximum packet size - 100 for TCP/IP overhead).
+ *
+ * Why two ethernet packets? It used to be one, on the theory that said
+ * packets define the maximum size of atomic update. But that's less than the
+ * 2000 chars on a 25 x 80 screen, and we don't want local updates to flicker
+ * either. Two packet lengths will handle up to a 35 x 80 screen.
+ *
+ * The magic '6' is the estimated length of the end-of-line cup sequence to go
+ * to the next line. It's generous. We used to mess with the buffering in
+ * init_mvcur() after cost computation, but that lost the sequences emitted by
+ * init_acs() in setupscreen().
+ *
+ * "The setvbuf function may be used only after the stream pointed to by stream
+ * has been associated with an open file and before any other operation is
+ * performed on the stream." (ISO 7.9.5.6.)
+ *
+ * Grrrr...
+ *
+ * On a lighter note, many implementations do in fact allow an application to
+ * reset the buffering after it has been written to. We try to do this because
+ * otherwise we leave stdout in buffered mode after endwin() is called. (This
+ * also happens with SVr4 curses).
+ *
+ * There are pros/cons:
+ *
+ * con:
+ * There is no guarantee that we can reestablish buffering once we've
+ * dropped it.
+ *
+ * We _may_ lose data if the implementation does not coordinate this with
+ * fflush.
+ *
+ * pro:
+ * An implementation is more likely to refuse to change the buffering than
+ * to do it in one of the ways mentioned above.
+ *
+ * The alternative is to have the application try to change buffering
+ * itself, which is certainly no improvement.
+ *
+ * Just in case it does not work well on a particular system, the calls to
+ * change buffering are all via the macro NC_BUFFERED.
