It seems to me that I should see the opposite behavior to what I am seeing based on the explanation that you provided. That is: If setting sync to true causes no buffering then I should actually observe the first two values (0 and 1) to be immediately output. Instead, I see the exception messages as I show above. Since the exception does not get raised until i reaches a value of 2, I should see the 0 and 1 printed to the standard output and then I should see exception being printed to standard error?
