There is a bug in SunOS 4.0 with fputs on line buffered streams which may be causing the problem. It is fixed by loading the 4.0.1 patch tape. Before applying the patch I had the problem, after applying the patch I don't. The comment in the accompanying README is as follows: Reference Number: 1011741 Synopsis: fputs fails with >1 newline on line-buffered streams Description: When `fputs' is called with a string containing more than one newline, and the stream passed to `fputs' is line-buffered, everything up to the first newline will be printed, but nothing more. jsp.
