I don't know if this has been submitted to the net before, but I've noticed
a pecular occurance when using the SET HOST/LOG sequence to capture output
from C programs using the printf statement.  For instance, the following
segment of code will print one line and a carriage return to the screen:

               printf("The quick brown ");
               printf("fox jumped over ");
               printf("the lazy dog.\n");

This results in:
                  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

However, when running the program after doing a SET HOST/LOG, the output
in the log file contains:
                           The quick brown
                           fox jumped over
                           the lazy dog.

...even though the output seen on the screen is correct.  Using DEFINE
SYS$OUTPUT PROG.LOG to capture the output works as expected, writing one
line to PROG.LOG.

Anyone got any clues?
