I'm pretty sure that output does go through outport. If I comment out
the C printf(), there's no output.

The thread will generate output much faster than it is extracted from
the port. Maybe you're seeing a "!!!" followed by thousands of lines of
"hello\n", so that the "!!!" is lost in the sea of output?

Also, scheme_get_sized_byte_string_output() doesn't remove the output
from the port, so you're getting cumulative output every time.
