This is the wrong place to fix this. You want a newline in the terminal output, yes, but not in the rails log. `msg` gets sent to both. Use `$stderr.puts(msg)` (instead of `$stderr.print`) to get a newline in the terminal without adding blank lines to the rails log.

The only reason why you should use `$stderr.print` is if you are doing something like:

```ruby
$stderr.print "Doing a slow thing..."
# do slow thing
$stderr.puts "done."
```

This will print both messages on the same line, which is nice. But generally, for terminal output `puts` is what you want unless you are deliberately being fancy.
