+ *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
+ in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
+ write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
+ programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
+
+ The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
+ text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
+ line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
+ not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
+ seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
+ the answer.
+
+ Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
+ been tested well enough.
