Well, if Ruby abstracts the underlying calls such that the Ruby's IO
contract is basically the same as POSIX's IO contract, and if POSIX says a
certain sequence of operations (eg: a read followed immediately by a
write) is undefined, then it does not matter whether two systems behave
differently when you do that, because you aren't supposed to do that in
the first place. 

Now whether we want Ruby IO to follow POSIX semantics is a good question.

Btw, if you want Ruby to have its own buffering, that's what I started
doing in MetaRuby's IOMixin, but I didn't finish it. The reason I'm doing
it in the first place is that I can't rely on <stdio.h> buffering because
it only works on real filehandles.
