Maybe a fflush() on the msDebug() output at the end of each FastCGI 
request would help? For a test, please try adding one in the msDebug() 
function in mapdebug.c and see if that helps:

--- mapdebug.c  (revision 7902)
+++ mapdebug.c  (working copy)
@@ -361,6 +361,7 @@
          va_start(args, pszFormat);
          msIO_vfprintf(debuginfo->fp, pszFormat, args);
          va_end(args);
+        fflush(debuginfo->fp);
      }
  #ifdef _WIN32
      else if (debuginfo->debug_mode == MS_DEBUGMODE_WINDOWSDEBUG)


If that helps then please file a ticket and assign to me (Trac id 
dmorissette). The final solution will NOT be to call fflush() all the 
time as in the above gtest, but to create a new msDebugFlush() function 
that is called once at the end of each FastCGI request
