I was about to commit the test fix for this and then I realized that
Test::Builder unbuffers its newly created output filehandles. Everything
should be written to disk immediately. If not then there's a bug either
in Test::Builder's autoflush logic or in Perl.
Could you have another look at this? Test::Builder _new_fh() and _autoflush()
will be of some interest.
