I should wait before replying, since someone else is likely to
offer a better suggestion, but then I'd forget to followup
at all, so here goes ...
Have you considered using fprintf instead? There's really no
way, in principle, to know what a complex system is doing or
has done with standard output. If you open a new file, write
to it, flush buffers (although that shouldn't be necessary)
and then close it, all in C, it's much harder for the calling
system to screw up what you are doing, and *you* won't
interfere with whatever it may be doing either.
