See, Paolo, I really was smoking crack.

But, I wonder... maybe we should have a loop whose body calls
sputn() if there's room in the buffer, and overflow() if not.
Each call to overflow() might make room in the buffer so that
on the next round it can call sputn().

I'm probably still on something.
