I am having a weird problem 

The structure of my program is something like:


...long list of headers ...

int main()
{
...long list of declarations ...

for(;;)
 {

  if(someCondition)
    {
     ..set some flags...
     printf(someMessage);
     fflush(stdout);     
    }
  else if(someCondition2)
    {
     ..set some flags...
     printf(someMessage2);
     fflush(stdout);     
    }
   ...

 }

return 0;
}


For the initial few runs of the loop(for), the message is displayed by the
printf's, but after some more runs the messages are not being printed, but
the flags are set properly.

I do not know much of assembly to debug under the  disassembler view, but
during normal debug under RHIDE, the printf seems to be executing.

I am flushing the output stream after every printf. Is it because of the size
of the translation unit or some problem with insufficient memory?
