It is not safe to re-use a buffer once it's passed to an async method,
and before the callback.  In the case of stream.write() it's not safe
to assume that it's *ever* ok to re-use it.

Memory is cheap.  If you don't know for sure that it's your
bottleneck, just let it go out of scope and get collected.
