Arghh. I'll add a note in docs, but I think we may be too
late to properly (however that's decided) fix it for the upcoming
release. Heiko is the release master.

(The BOOL is for indicating that further data will be passed
imminently, so the data from this call can be buffered to save
syscalls/packets. False to write/flush immediately.)

As I'm finding :(

Obviously very few people use the API, or care to raise bugs...
or test (preferably early) RCs. Thanks for doing the latter.
