What's the problem (or question)?

On Windows the progrss bar of UPX is printed on a single line in the terminal. On Android in Termux UPX prints a new line to the console each time the progress bar updates, which appears to be many times per second. Hundreds of lines are being printed.

What should have happened?

It would be nice if the progress bar on Android only printed a single line, and overwrites that line when it updates, the same as it does on Windows.

Do you have an idea for a solution?
