This seems to be due to the fact that the Runtime object is using a StringIO object for the logging StreamHandler, which is attached to an Output object, which is handling both logging output and result output. Instead of building the output as each event happens, the Output object assembles it all at once at the end, and it puts result output ahead of all the logging.

I can see how this has some utility, despite being a bit counterintuitive. For one thing, it keeps a plugin running in verbose mode from violating the Nagios plugin API, so monitoring that is calling the plugin will still work.

I'm inclined to label this wontfix because of the API issue, but I'm open to discussion about it if you're still interested in seeing this change, @sbraz. Feel free to re-open the issue.

I'd almost forgotten I'd opened this issue. I can live with the current behaviour, it's just slightly strange :)

Yeah, a few things got a bit lost when I took over the project. I'm gradually whittling down these old issues. :)
