torerr: Try harder to flush raw assert messages before process termination Some platforms (macOS, maybe others?) can swallow the last write before an abort. This issue is probably caused by a race condition between write buffer cache flushing, and process termination. So we write an extra newline, to make sure that the message always gets through.
