This won't work because a FILE* is process-local, while a handle can
be shared across processes. Of course there is the same problem with
doing the buffering ourselves in the client, so Hannu's solution won't
work reliably either. To be reliable the buffering would have to be
done in the server, but there's obviously no point in doing that.
