Comment(by gnu):

 A further improved patch seems to be:

 add 2nd line:

   button-check game-key? 0= if  stdout off show-child freeze  then

 Change 3rd line from the bottom, which previously just said "boot", to:

   load show-going go

 This produces a few messages at the start (ESC to interrupt, etc), then
 goes straight into a totally pretty boot and never messes up its screen.
