Add file buffer pool support to fgetln() This avoids buffer overwrites during concurrent or intermixed calls to fgetln() when using more than one different stream (currently 32), which the original interface supports natively by using an internal buffer from the FILE structure. Although this workaround is rudimentary, it should cover most of the theoretically problematic cases.
