I think you can accomplish this same thing by doing a

  setbuf(stdout,0);

in the main() of the program. This disables the buffering and removes the
need for the fflush.

Another very similar solution, if you don't want to add extra fflush()
statements to the program, is to change all printf("whatever") calls to
fprintf(stdout, "whatever").  This seems to force the output to be written
immediately...
