Since the IO is buffered and your app mostlikely only expected one line
of return for every one line of output. If the headers go out and say
output 5 lines of headers, you would then have 5 responses to slug
through before you get to your good responses. Of course you are then
out of sync too. 

Now you have some more amunition as to why the -q is important.
