Yes, but what if 2 different 'entities' try to write to stdout?

All output is delayed yes? And all is written at once?

The case I have is

- a .bat file echoing status
- iconv converting sqlscripts/data to utf8 *via* stdout (by redirection)

The status echo's from the .bat file end up in the converted sql file -
it's all written at once see

And now my sql file is invalid, breaking the create database, breaking
the regression, breaking the build ...

Or am I missing something here?

Could the dealy write be optional? (Just a thought)
