Hey, you're debugging, right?  Efficiency has to be near the bottom of the
priority list anyway.  My point is it's one mod to main(), and it makes sure
you don't miss something in the call tree that you're not (at the moment)
tracing down.  Or, okay, if efficiency is *that* annoying, how about
setlinebuf(), as someone mentioned?
