It's not an RDE bug, it's a Windows 9x thing.

I'm told that on XP, a read from STDIN flushes STDOUT
first, so you don't get this annoyance.

Buffers speed things up substantially; you could be
redirecting STDOUT to a disk file.  So no-one's
going to do that -- you just have to remember it
before a puts/gets sequence.

Try taking it out again and you'll see that you can
input data OK but responses will be delayed.

STDERR is *not* buffered, so you see error messages straight away.
