/*
 * If the master and slaves output statistics or error messages to the same stream
 * or file (e.g., the standard output or the log file) simultaneously, then
 * a mixing of their outputs can occur. To avoid this, TFORM uses a lock of
 * ErrorMessageLock, but there is no locking functionality in the original MPI
 * specification. We need to synchronise the output from the master and slaves.
 *
 * The idea of the synchronised output (by, e.g., MesPrint()) implemented here is
 *   Slaves:
 *     1. Save the output by WriteFile() (set to PF_WriteFileToFile())
 *        into some buffers between MLOCK(ErrorMessageLock) and
 *        MUNLOCK(ErrorMessageLock), which call PF_MLock() and PF_MUnlock(),
 *        respectively. The output for AM.StdOut and AC.LogHandle are saved to
 *        the buffers.
 *     2. At MUNLOCK(ErrorMessageLock), send the output in the buffer to the master,
 *        with PF_STDOUT_MSGTAG or PF_LOG_MSGTAG.
 *   Master:
 *     1. Receive the buffered output from slaves, and write them by
 *        WriteFileToFile().
 *   The main problem is how and where the master receives messages from
 *   the slaves (PF_ReceiveErrorMessage()). For this purpose there are three
 *   helper functions: PF_CatchErrorMessages() and PF_CatchErrorMessagesForAll()
 *   which remove messages with PF_STDOUT_MSGTAG or PF_LOG_MSGTAG from the top
 *   of the message queue, and PF_ProbeWithCatchingErrorMessages() which is same as
 *   PF_Probe() except removing these messages.

         * Phenomenon:
         *   A single linefeed sent to the standard output occasionally ignored
         *   on mpiexec.
         *
         * Environment:
         *   openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64)
         *   kernel: 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
         *   gcc: 4.5.1 20101208
         *   mpich2-1.3.2p1 configured with '--enable-shared --with-pm=smpd'
         *
         * Solution:
         *   In Unix (in which Uwrite() calls write() system call without any buffering),
         *   we perform the line buffering here. A single linefeed is also buffered.
         *
         * XXX:
         *   At the end of the program the buffered output (text without LF) will not be flushed,
         *   i.e., will not be written to the standard output. This is not problematic at a normal run.
