[Axiom-developer] Re: [Axiom-commit] flush

[root]

in fact, this is a known bug (see src/input/Makefile.pamphlet)
and search for FLUSH.

the package, attached below, makes no reference to how it is used
but it is intended to print lines which do not contain line-feeds
thus requiring the call to flush.

the correct fix would be to add the line:

(defun flush () (force-output))

in vmlisp.lisp
