Simply writing a newlind character in a string constant will not always flush the stream. AT&T specs a flush operator for streams: cout << flush; I'm pretty sure gcc's iostreams has this also. You should also use the end of line operator for newlines: cout << "hello" << endl; Of course, the fact that it doesn't flush on exit may be a bug as well, or just a real pain.
