No, this is incorrect.  fflush is not called on subsequent writeln.

Not only that, but we only have to do this on FILE * that were
initialized with unknown file descriptors (such as
stdin/stdout/stderr).  If we use fopen, you don't have to do this.


Steve, the only unchecked place right now is in the _last_ flush. Even if you flush on first call it won't help some other forms of errors (other then it's not writable to begin with). The only thing it will do is surprise certain kinds of applications that use fdopen with "passed in" sockets and whatnot. Basically a year later we'll see puzzled folks with strace printouts.

The two problems described are separate problems. Both can be addressed differently.

I think it's worth putting the flush at the end, and generating an exception. But if we can catch the error on intialization, or at least on first use, it would be beneficial.
