It is not the same - it is just called the same - but can render the 
same effect.
Which also means that it looks like it only takes some normal 
precautions for threads, otherwise the whole console IO system wouldn't 
be usable with threads.
I guess Marco is right: Just flush after thread operations.
On its own it is not threadsafe, I agree, but it might be a simple and 
solid solution. *without* the rewrites :)
