Bizarre behavior of Julia display()

[clayms]

Running the following Julia code creates some bizarre output. It appears that display() runs much faster than the other functions and the resulting table shows up before you want it to. It can even show up in the middle of other tables that are output with the other methods.

Even if there is a work around, I don't think this should behave this way. Output should be displayed in the order it was inputted.

using DataFrames
A = DataFrame(randn(10, 7));

print("\n\n\n", "A = DataFrame(randn(10, 7))")

print("\n\n\n","print(A)\n")
print(A)

print("\n\n\n","show(A)\n")
show(A)

print("\n\n\n","show(A, true)\n")
show(A, true)

print("\n\n\n","show(A, false)\n")
show(A, false)

print("\n\n\n","showall(A)\n")
showall(A)

print("\n\n\n","showall(A, true)\n")
showall(A, true)

print("\n\n\n","showall(A, false)\n")
showall(A, false)

print("\n\n\n","display(A)\n")
display(A)

I'm pretty sure we do display output in the order we receive the messages, so this is probably up to the Julia kernel and how it orders the output messages. I would guess it's buffering stdout in some fashion.
