Running the following program within konsole:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int
    main()
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
        {
          fprintf (stderr, "foo %d\n", i);
        }
    }

leads to a freeze - not single message is printed - no reaction on
return. Only after a long time (30 seconds) something happens.

If I run the same program in an xterm, the messages are scrolling
through, as I would expect from that kind of output.
