Description Chris Recoskie

Right now, since the external process is not spawned under a PTY, the OS uses a 4 KB buffer to buffer stdout from the process.  This means you don't get any output from the process until the buffer is full, or the process terminates.  With a PTY, the output will be line buffered instead, which is what users expect.
