Yes this m_iohandler_sync is essentially implementing a "sleep(2)" as the overall fix. It is coded in a much more complex way, but that is the way it works out on MacOSX at least.
I will take look at this later today to come up with a real fix to hopefully fix this once and for all. The issue seems to be we have 3 threads: 1 - main thread running command interpreter waiting for user input 2 - debugger event handling thread that handles all events (run/stop/stdio from process) 3 - process private event handling thread I believe that the issue we are running into is we get a "stopped" on thread 2 and we grab stdio and also display the thread stop info (thread list and where we stopped) asynchronously while thread 1 is in the process of displaying the "(lldb) " prompt again. We really need any async text to be supplied to the IOHandler stack for display so that it can correctly coordinate the output. I believe right now thread 2 just prints stuff when it wants to and then asks the IOHandler to refresh the top IOHandler after it does the display, but I need to look at this again to make sure this is what is happening.
