I have a vague memory of the problem in std.stream that you've 
described, and I think it was fixed quite a while ago.

But if you're looking for more horsepower than what std.stream provides 
you might check out the mango.io package in Mango 
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/mango). I haven't tried Mango myself, 
but many people swear by it.
