There is a bug in the implementation of puts.  The stdio.h file has
#define puts(s)		fputs(s,stdout)
This is not quite correct.  The UNIX man pages state quite clearly that
puts() puts out a newline after the string is printed, and fputs does not.
To fix this, delete the definition for puts from stdio.h and add to
the library file fputs.c:
puts(s) char *s; {
	fputs(s,stdout);
	fputc('\n',stdout);
}
