I cannot follow. Pervasives.stderr is unbuffered; however (see
pervasives.ml):

let print_endline s =
  output_string stdout s; output_char stdout '\n'; flush stdout
let print_newline () = output_char stdout '\n'; flush stdout

let prerr_endline s =
  output_string stderr s; output_char stderr '\n'; flush stderr
let prerr_newline () = output_char stderr '\n'; flush stderr

So far I know these are the only functions doing an implicit flush, and
they are doing it for both stdout and stderr.
