Hi!

The following program doesn't work properly when run from bash
(with `M-x shell' from within Emacs):

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int i;

	printf("Enter number: ");
	/* fflush(NULL); */
	scanf("%d", &i);
	printf("Got %d.\n", i);
	return 0;
}

You have to uncomment that fflush-line. But the usual shells
like command.com or 4nt don't need that line. This is somewhat
annoying. Can I at least force the shell somehow to flush
input/output buffers? Some other programs are just unusable 
because of this behavior.
