Re: string too long from write-char

The problem is that clisp seems to want to store the current line
it's writing to the terminal.  I don't yet understand why.
I could see with this might be done by readline.
To me this seems to qualify as a bug - there should be no requirement
that a newline is written to the terminal every 5 million characters
or so.

My current work around is to write a newline every so often to the 
stream.  This generic stream was translating newline characters into 
a sequence of control characters to position the cursor.
