I think Emacs can affect the buffering of programs that it invokes
directly.  In my experience, the buffering problems normally start
when a program is run through some other program, the classic example
being ssh being run by cvs and the password prompt not appearing in
Emacs until you kill cvs. I don't think anything Emacs does can fix
this.
