Just saw your reporting as well... Thanks for pointing out anyway.

On Windows, yes. But in a MinTTY terminal with Cygwin.

I never have seen mixed (delayed) streams with other applications, but they
may be less verbose: exit on error, for example, while here a lot of output is
written anyway.

The delay is a problem. The fact that normal messages (vs only calls to
`error') are sent to `stderr' is another big, I think. We can't grep through
errors only, or check for some file to be empty (when redirecting stderr to a
file), or...

Best regards,
  Seb

That's a new test from Nicolas which seems to need some testing
itself... :-)

Let me guess, you are on a Windows console or running cmd in a shell
buffer?  Then the order of output between STDOUT / STDERR is not
predictable since by default both streams will be buffered.
