[issue17852] Built-in module _io can lose data from buffered files at exit

[Nikolaus Rath]

Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus at rath.org> added the comment:

Given the apparent difficulties getting this right, how about not attempting to implicitly flush buffers in the finalizer at all? This means scripts relying on this will break, but in contrast to the current behavior they will break consistently so it's easy to find and fix the problem.
