this is true.

hmm, this is sort of puzzling.  i seem to be getting unpredictable behavior,
depending on the client.  i'm making myself a little dizzy here playing with
variations of OUT vs STDOUT - could you give me some reference on this? I've
never heard of OUT before!!! - and various autoflush invocations.  but i have
managed to get an out-of-order result with curl while getting a single '0' via
telnetting and pasting in the curl request... very weird indeed!
