I agree, you don't want to mess up the text for the normal command line
user. I suggest doing something similar to Perforce with it's tagged
text output ("-z tag") ripe for parsing, or, just testing to see if
adding fflush(stdout); fflush(stderr); instead of adding tacking on a
newline. This will hopefully cause the parent process to receive the
child output.
