If main() calls "setbuf" with a local array as the buffer,
then if main simply returns the local array is no longer valid,
yet buffer flushing has not yet occurred.
Calling exit, or making the array static, or using "malloc(BUFSIZ)"
as the argument to setbuf, avoids the problem.

So, did your program call setbuf?
