It's actually not, if you're starting your program from ghci, which is what confused me. From GHCi, you get NoBuffering on stdout, and LineBuffering on stdin, which is sane for interactive programs. Why anyone would want LineBuffering as default on stdout is somewhat mysterious to me. - Cale _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
