Don't count on unbuffered semantics, unless you can find a reference that
states that stderr is unbuggered. I can remember having issues with doing
an fprintf(stderr,.. trying to track down a SEGV in a program, and having to
specifically do a setbuf() on stderr to make it cough up the fprintf before it
hit the SEGV a few lines later...  So at least on some (admittedly decade-ago)
systems, it was *not* unbuffered.
