This is because Smalltalk FileStreams are buffered separately from C stdio
streams.  I don't consider it a serious problem, but it can be fixed by
adding ObjectMemory hooks (#beforeEvaluation and #afterEvaluation)
triggered by _gst_execute_statements (I'm referring to the naming
convention in 1.96), and trapping #afterEvaluation so that it flushes
stdout and stderr...
