 Hi,
 
 just my $0,03.
 
 Apparently mapprint uses WR macro which expands to write to
 STDOUT_FILENO, which explains why data buffered in FILE stdout was not
 displayed first.
 
 I don't know if "\n" at the end of the buffer warrants flushing the stream.
 
 In either case, WR is used in several places and I'm not sure what is
 the correct fix.
