Code:

var readline = require("readline")
var str;
var prompt = function (){
    var rl = readline.createInterface({
      input: process.stdin,
      output: process.stdout
    });
    rl.setPrompt ("> ", 2);
    rl.on ("line", function (line){
        str = line
        this.close ();
    });
    rl.on ("close", function (){
        process.stdout.write (str) <<<----- LINE 1
        //console.log (str) <<<------------ LINE 2
        //prompt (); <<<------------------- LINE 3
    });
    rl.on ("SIGINT", function (){
        process.stdout.write ("\n");
        process.exit ();
    });
    rl.prompt ();
};

prompt ();


If LINE 3 is commented it prints:

> msg
msg

If LINE 3 is not commented (infinite prompting), LINE 1 doesn't print the 
message:

> msg
> msg2
> msg3

But now, uncomment LINE 2, the message is printed 2 times. It seems that a 
call to console.log() enabled the stdout stream again:

> msg
msgmsg
> msg2
msg2msg2
