I saw a feature request, but my googling did not come up with anything
obvious.

The issue is that I wasted several days trying to figure out where a
function was dying, and it turned out to be I had a bad argument count, but
if I got into the recursion at all it would go into an infinate loop...

Are you saying that you passed the wrong number of arguments to your
function?  That is easily caught if you enable "stop on first warning" in
the preferences.  There are a bunch of "warnings" that are actually fatal
errors and lead to a cascade of messages, so this option is basically
essential.

Thanks.  I will set that.  But it would still be nice to be able to flush
the stdout...

Something changed a few years ago, and I haven't bothered to track down
what.  It used to be that output was visible immediately.
