Summary:

[outStream write:buffer length:0] will close outStream. This is surprising and undocumented.

Steps to Reproduce:

    NSOutputStream *stream = [NSOutputStream outputStreamToFileAtPath:@"test.out" append:NO];
    [stream open];
    const uint8_t data[5] = "abcde";
    NSCAssert([stream write:data maxLength:5] == 5, @"Test1");
    NSCAssert([stream write:data maxLength:0] == 0, @"Test2");
    NSCAssert([stream write:data maxLength:5] == 5, @"Test3");


Expected Results:

Should succeed with output file containing "abcdeabcde".

Actual Results:

Assertion at Test3 because stream is in state NSStreamStatusAtEnd.

Regression:
