JDK 1.6_07 with Windows: System.out.flush() does not work...

Question

I wonder if this is a known issue: Since I upgrade the jdk1.6 version to the _07 pack, text IO does not work anymore with WinXP cmd.exe window. Assuming a static import of System.out, I use:
static void prompt()
  out.print(pr); //pr is a prompt string...
  out.flush();
}works as usual with Unix/Linux, but with windows nothing will be written to the terminal, until I make at least one input. In that case a barrage of cached prompts appear all at once.
Do we have a bug for it, can we work around somehow?

Answer 1

Since this code works correctly in Java 6u10 on Windows XP
System.out.print("This is the data");
System.out.flush();You are apparently doing something unusual or wrong. What is "out"?
Show a small sample program that compiles and exhibits the problem when executed.
