In general you cannot expect flushing from the "system".  It has always
been up to the application to flush its outputs.  Even in C, you have to
use fflush(stdout); if you want to ensure output is written
(fprintf(stderr,…) calls fflush(stderr); automatically however).

So your code wasn't conforming and this is why it didn't work on 
clozure 1.9 :-)
