Try to send "STDOUT.sync = true" line first.  This is because
the child process buffers stdout.  In many UNIX, using pseudo
TTY tells processes to not buffer output, but Windows has no
this feature or similar.

I remember I wrote about this, regarding cygwin and DOS prompt
issue.

Correct, but impossible as OS doesn't support it.
