#flush on a stream means pushing all data to the final destination, clearing buffers, doing actual network transfers.
What can happen when you disable that ?
That some data does not arrive where it should I guess.
Mind that #close most of the time does an automatic/implicit #flush.
Anyway, I don't think disabling #flush is a real solution.
