Yes, it's a bug. The documentation indeed unequivocally states that the
object only needs a write() method. I'm not sure whether it's the  
documentation
that's in error or the flush() in regrtest, so I've filed a bug report:
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=688581&group_id=5470&atid=105470>

If you login to sourceforge you can monitor the bug to track its  
progress. In the mean time
you can just take out the flush()es in regrtest, I think.
