Actually, I now see better what the problem is. The current code will
not let you set no buffering (-N) mode on stdout. Since the file is
already open, the code that checks to see if you want no buffering
mode will never get executed.

My fix below still applies, and makes curl less dependandant on
whether setvbuf() exists or is/isnot broken.
