FreeBSD's __sflags reads the access character, then b, +, x, e and v, and
stops at the first other character without failing, so "rt" opens for
reading. On Windows fopen inserted b after the first character and passed
the rest on, so "rt" became "rbt", the CRT rejected it with EINVAL, and
fopen threw. vkQuake opens history.txt with "rt" at startup. freopen
accepted only a fixed list of modes.
Both now parse the mode like __sflags. An unknown access character, or x
on a read-only stream, returns NULL with EINVAL; x on an existing file
returns NULL with EEXIST; e and v are accepted and ignored.

FreeBSD's setvbuf takes a zero size with _IOFBF or _IOLBF as "pick the
buffer size". The UCRT rejects sizes below 2 for those modes through
its invalid parameter handler, so the call failed on Windows and a test
process was terminated. A zero size now drops the given buffer and
asks the host for one of BUFSIZ bytes.
