ghc-ghci inconsisteny

The following program has different semantics in ghc
and ghci. 

main = do putStrLn "something"
                  putStr "something else" 

It's the linebuffering. NoLineBuffering should be used
on expressions without side-effects. 

So 5*5 should print immediately, and do putStrLn
"something" should behave the same in both
applications. How doesn't matter that much to me, but
they should be the same.
