The client rarely generates substantial data. The case I am considering is when the server dumps a substantial amount of data, followed by any length printf from the client. The dump of data from the server could conceivably fill the stdio buffer without triggering a flush. Any printf following that would lose data if the attempted flush returned EAGAIN.
