The Ruby percolator example was no longer working.
The problem that PrintWriter without auto-flush flushes only when either explicitly invoked or the buffer is full.
Such behaviour creates a problem for producers that operate in "line by line fashion" because one line of input doesn't fill the output buffer and as a result the consumer just hangs.
However, such behaviour might reduce the throughput. Let's release the fix, and implement the flag with this issue #166 .
