Ahh, you're right, as usual.  I assumed some buffering was going on
since I ran my tests in csi, which, —I now notice—, seems to flush the
output right after the evaluation of a top-level expression (eg.
"(write-char #\a) (sleep 20)" and the same expression wrapped in a
"(begin ...)" form expose a different behaviour).

Thanks for the explanation.
