Not currently.

I could change dlogin to set the logfile to be unbuffered but that
would be at the cost of slowing down dlogin.  Or maybe fflush the
logfile once dlogin has been idle for 30secs or so.  (which would
be easy to tie into the select call).  And/or when you escape to the
dlogin command menu?  Any other ideas?
