In any case, the Boehm-Weiser GC does not work well in OpenBSD.

You can uncomment these statements. I have never been sure about their
importance, and given that we now have finalizer code for streams, I
think it is pretty useless.

However, if we want to preserve this, it is safe to replace the first
line with
	setbuf(fp, NULL);
or simply remove it.
