Subject: Turbo C 1.5 setbuf(stderr bug
Message-ID: <8015@elsie.UUCP>

Repeat-By:
	Compiling and running this source

		#include "stdio.h"

		main()
		{
			static char	buf[BUFSIZ];

			setbuf(stderr, buf);
			(void) fprintf(stderr, "byebye\n");
			return 0;
		}

	and noting the lack of output.

Setvbuf messes up as well.

All goes well if you subsitute "stdout" for "stderr" above.

A workaround is an early "atexit" call specifying a function
that does a fflush(stderr).

Fixes, anyone?
