In fact, one of my colleagues had a problem with his printf's not printf'ing, so I wrote a short hack to test his use of printf and gets. Mine worked fine, but his still failed. We scratched our heads until we noticed that stdout's buffer is flushed on a call to fflush(stdout), when it gets full, or WHEN STDIN IS READ(!). Simple when you know the trix, isn't it? -Berry Kercheval
