From the Oracle 8i Supplied PL/SQL Packages reference manual:

Messages sent using DBMS_OUTPUT are not actually sent until the sending subprogram or trigger completes. There is no mechanism to flush output during the execution of a procedure.

A flush would've been a nice option.
One alternative is to use autonomous transaction and write/commit to a table and check from it
