I posted this on the musl mailing list (after being redirected on the voidlinux reddit forum):

The reply was: *No, aside from possible stdio buffering it's entirely a kernel matter.* I looked up the sutils source and see it's flushing after each output, and tried it on an Alpine-based box here (with musl) and could not reproduce what you're seeing. Both outputs are visible and roughly interleaved (although their order sometimes swaps with scheduling, of course). -- So... is this a bug within void musl?
