Adding a fflush(stdout); to main() just after the couple of lines that
set the stdout stream to buffered  ( stdout->_buflen = STDBUF; )  in the
init() routine is the easiest way to fix this. Or you can comment out
the couple of places where I tamper with the stdout buffer. main.c &
Rawconsole.c. And just use the now featured console buffering in 3.4a.
(which is what I have done)

I've made a couple of other minor changes for 3.4a to handle the new
fexecv code. (which checks the amigados PATH but it forces the system
requester up as it searches each disk that's not inserted. This is unlike
how amigados handles this. So I turn of system requesters before calling
fexecv).
