Run a test-framework driver.

Expected: When it's done, my terminal cursor is restored Actual: Terminal cursor not restored.

This might be ansi-terminal/ansi-wl-pprint's fault, or we might not be calling the correct reset frob.

Extra information: this only seems to occur when using runghc, not when running a compiled binary.

Fix is to explicitly flush after you restore the cursor:

hideCursorDuring :: IO a -> IO a
hideCursorDuring action = bracket hideCursor (const (showCursor >> hFlush stdout)) (const action)

See also here; it looks like this got fixed in GHC 6.12.3.
