Hello Sebastian,

NSLog writes to the _NSLogDescriptor (which defaults to stderr) where as
your code is telling GSPrintf to write too stdout.  The order in which
you see the output in your terminal is generally indeterminate.  I
believe that writing '\n' can produce an implicit flush() in some C
implementations.  Before the program exits, all file descriptors are
flushed.

So the output looks pretty much like what I would expect.

Cheers,
David
