I do not intend to change the code. The problem is that with this change of the
*default* behavior some programs might ill-function. I don't say correct
programs. But programs so far can recognize bugs by checking the fclose status
only. By flagging the overflow at printf time this would change and those
programs might mysteriously fail.
Programs which want the early failures can easily use setvbuf etc on their own.
No reason to potentially upset programs.
