Your "gsi> " is buffered because there's no newline at the end. To flush
the buffer and force it to be printed immediately, use 'hFlush' from the
System.IO library, or use 'hSetBuffering' from that same library:
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/System-IO.html
I believe you can observe the same behavior in C.
