Actually, to break it down to its simplest, with the python program:
for i in range(1,10000):
print "line", i
I get:
> writeabunch.py | head -5
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Agent-files\Giganews\writeabunch.py", line 2, in ?
print "line", i
IOError: (0, 'Error')
close failed: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
Same thing, but a far simpler scenario.
Interestingly, if I use a low enough range, say range(1,500), it simply
runs to completion; I assume that 500 lines in the form of "line n\n" fit
within the first written buffer.
