   #include <iostream.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>

   main()
   {
      cout << "hello world\n";
      exit( 0 );    // <- this line makes all the difference
   }

   The first program does not print anything, the second program runs just
   fine! I discovered this when trying to figure out why some of the demos
   failed.

Since calling exit will call global destructors, I think it's
problem with the i/o buffer not being flushed correctly on a
normal exit.
