Logfile entries

1) Entries in the logfile aren't flushed so you often have to wait sometime for the
log to include the latest statement.

Add "fflush(fp)" to the end of output_file()

2) Entries in the logfile should include a timestamp

3) Errors aren't always seen if you're not running in the background. Add a call to output_file()
in error().

This patch includes all my patches to pen 0.17.1. I haven't yet done the timestamp one.
