Apart from the excessive white space, yes.  :-)  Setting stdout to
either _IONBF (unbuffered) or _IOLBF (line buffered) should achieve
what you want, as from memory multilog only processes whole lines
anyway (stdout is in _IOLBF mode when the program is talking to a
tty).

Note that if you had been writing to stderr you wouldn't have picked
this up - by default stderr is set to unbuffered regardless of what
it's talking to.
