3.5.rc2 tty buffering bug ?

[Dave Jones]

I found something odd that happens with redirection.

this code...



#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
	printf("begin\n");

	if (fork() != 0)
		printf("child\n");
	else
		printf("parent\n");

	printf("end\n");
}

usually exits before the child gets to print anything, so stdout looks like..

begin
parent
end

but when redirected to a file, sometimes it prints what we expect, but other times
(if the child exits first) it seems to print..

begin
child
end
begin
parent
end


How does 'begin' get printed a second time ?
