 * situation (actually quite common), where a single data record should not
 * be split across files. This may be problematic if multiple stream write
 * calls are used to create the record. To support that, we provide the
 * bInRecord status variable. If it is set, no file spliting occurs. Once
 * it is set to 0, a check is done if a split is necessary and it then
 * happens. For a record-oriented caller, the proper sequence is:
 *
 * strmRecordBegin()
 * strmWrite...()
 * strmRecordEnd()
 *
 * Please note that records do not affect the writing of output buffers. They
 * are always written when full. The only thing affected is circular files
 * creation. So it is safe to write large records.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: RecordBegin() can not be nested! It is a programming error
 * if RecordBegin() is called while already in a record!
