This might be irrelevant now, but flushing is something that should be
done because there might be a buffering layer...  I don't remember
offhand whether mzscheme implements its own buffering -- but is it
important?  If it doesn't, and tomorrow it does, then the assumption
will break anyway.  Also, you can wrap the network ports inside
Scheme, and that can introduce yet more buffering.
