This line really was from the program.  In this particular example, valueToReturn is of type char[] and is literally "HouseBot"

This part is likely your problem: "It does real time communication in 
plain text with a 3rd party controlling application"
That probably means the output is redirected and not sent to an actual 
console, right?
The default behavior for Stdout is to auto-flush only if the output is 
sent to an actual console (i.e. isn't redirected).

To make sure flushing occurs, execute "Stdout.flush = true;" somewhere 
at the start of your program (main(), a static this(), or just right 
before the first output).
