fwrite( ) gives Notice with Unicode ON

Hi, I'm writing some PHPT test cases for PHP 6 and wanted to check that I was seeing the correct behaviour with unicode. I tried the following simple testcase and gets Notice message with php6 unicode ON. --TEST-- test.phpt --FILE-- <?php $fh = fopen ("tempfile.tmp", "w" ); fwrite( $fh, "Sample text" ); fclose( $fh ); ?> --UEXPECT-- command: php run-tests.php -u test.phpt cat test.u.out Following Notice is displayed: Notice: fwrite(): 11 character unicode buffer downcoded for binary stream runtime_encoding in %s on line %d There in no notice message with PHP6 unicode OFF, please would you confirm that the additional notices with Unicode on are intended? I think it will result in a large number of additional Notices if we use fwrite in a for loop.
