Sorry, I forgot that malloc is called in the startup code, so calling
setvbuf in `main' is too late.

I guess the easiest way out of this mess is to use cprintf instead of
printf.  Or move the setvbuf call into malloc itself, before the
first printf (with some kind of static flag, to do that only once).
