--- Comment #6 from b2.temp at gmx.com ---
This is a known limitation of the write function.

see http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/write.2.html

> on Linux, write() (and similar system calls) will transfer at most

If you want to write more you must use a stream and write several buffers or
use append (). std.stdio.File works because it doesn't bulk-write.
