If you did that, you're on your own...  :)

I didn't notice that fpurge() is actually a superset of fflush().

I agree that fpurge(NULL) would be nice, but nothing outside the base
system would use it, since it wouldn't work on older or non-FreeBSD
systems - and I don't mean "wouldn't work" as in "would have no effect
whatsoever", I mean "wouldn't work" as in "immediate SIGSEGV" since our
fpurge() does not check for fp == NULL.
