Re: Steping debugger - printf order

[Rick Riolo]

this doesn't get to your main question, but it may
be useful in other contexts (or maybe this one):

i believe that if you use 
  fprintf(stderr,"...",...);
instead of just printf, the output will
a) be immediately flushed, so one doesn't lose
  some output in the printf buffer when a crash occurs
b) it will therefore appear in the order 
   in which the fprintf's are exectued.
