Hm, ok then this probably isn't that much of an issue as I thought before. Is fprintf(stderr, "...") ok? After all it should be unbuffered?
Don't count on unbuffered semantics, unless you can find a reference that states that stderr is unbuggered. I can remember having issues with doing an fprintf(stderr,.. trying to track down a SEGV in a program, and having to specifically do a setbuf() on stderr to make it cough up the fprintf before it hit the SEGV a few lines later... So at least on some (admittedly decade-ago) systems, it was *not* unbuffered.
