You cannot easily overcome this limit. Also I'd note that POSIX does not say
how much is going to be written. So you have to be prepared for the fact that
your write writes e.g. 1 byte (although in practice that doesn't tend to
happen). If some program relies on write(2) writing as much as it was told to,
it is a buggy program.
