Subject: gets is blocking print in simple example

Hi --

When I run this in 1.9:

   print "Hello. Please enter your name: "
   name = gets

I get nothing; it doesn't print the prompt until after I've entered a
keyboard line.

It works in 1.8. I'm assuming this is a bug (I can't imagine that we
have to manually flush STDOUT just to print a prompt), but I thought
I'd run it by the list and see if anyone has any comments or insight.
