i'm running something similar to this pseudo-code in an app of mine:
for (i=0 ....)
fprintf(stdout,"TEXT %d\r", int);
what's really strange is that if i print to stdout the output isn't very
clean. the cursor jumps randomly within the output (being 1 line). if i print
to stderr however the output looks really nice. the cursor says right at the
front of the output all the time. just like in burncd e.g.
what's causing this? because i'd rather print to stdout.
