This behavior isn't Cygwin-specific. In fact, it's longstanding Unix behavior. (The buffering problem is one reason you should, generally speaking, use _exit(2), not exit(3), in a forked child.) Calling fflush(NULL) before the fork will flush all stdio buffers for you and eliminate the problem, assuming you're single-threaded.
