Yes, the output does appear when I call exit instead of returning
from main().  Unfortunately, that's not an option.  For one thing,
this is shared code that works just fine on other systems (and
under Cygwin until I updated last Friday).  For another, the
semantics of calling exit in main() are not exactly the same as
returning from main() -- local automatic objects in main() are not
destroyed by the exit() call, which is something some of this
code that is now failing relies on.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
