Yep I'm aware of this problem, but don't have a fix implemented
for it yet.
  
When I first implemented the streambuf class I assumed that the
max_size value was really just there to prevent memory
exhaustion, and would always be very large. However later I
realised there are use cases for setting a small max_size. I
will try to fix this be soon.

For now, don't set it to a small value :)
