Write test data from a different buffer than we read into, since I

anticipate comparing the written buffer with the read buffer.

Don't initialize variables prematurely so that the compiler has a chance
to warn about variables read before they are written.

Repeatedly flush the page buffer, once each time we end the tick.

Write errors to stdout instead of stderr.
