I'm not using GPS, but I thought of the possibility of a problem with
the development environment which in my case is Apple's Xcode. That's
why I executed in three other terminal programs (including Apple's
Terminal.app, the terminal in Path Finder, and something called
iTerm), but all gave the same result. Which doesn't completely answer
the question of stealth buffering. But given the discussion above
about a patch I'm guessing the problem is not weird buffering.
