Observed failed tests for the aarch64-linux build job on hydra.nixos.org: - https://hydra.nixos.org/build/292893102/nixlog/1 I'm confident the usleep() statements within midline-flush.c handles ordering within a single invocation, but the test does demonstrate that it must be possible to schedule overlapping program invocations, where the first flush of a subsequent invocation can be processed in advance of the final flush from a preceding one. This update adds a numeric identifier to each hello() and goodbye() statement, which should help to identify exactly which invocation gets out of order, and also adds a sleep in the main shell loop to make it that much less likely that this race will occur.
