Research direction

No file or test is identified; begin by tracing uvloop's stdout and stderr handling and the corresponding libuv behavior. Confirm whether large writes use non-blocking descriptors, why, and whether a configuration option exists; document the answer and reproduce the reported errors before considering a change.

Description

I'm trying to debug an issue and can't really follow the code in here and over at libuv.

I seem to be getting errors when printing out large amounts of data suggestiong my stdout might be switched to non-blocking mode. Is uvloop doing this, why (is there a parameter to not do it, is there a strong reason not to do it), and is stderr affected as well?

Thanks in advance!
