i think it's a race condition: the output of listdev gets sent to the
pd-gui, but the gui is not ready yet to display anything, so it gets lost.

most likely, Pd should use "stderr" as default print target (even
without "-stderr") and only switch to the GUI's print target once the
GUI and the core are indeed connected (and we are not in "-stderr" mode)
