Do not answer to bugtracker at gambaswiki.org, there is no mailbox there.

Prefer answering directly in the bugtracker.

Anyway, buffered mode is very useful! Because a system call is still 
very slow nowadays, and buffered mode allows to read a file with less 
system calls without having to do that yourself.
