Not going to change anything. Since stdout is by default
opened as a text mode file, and is also set to be line
buffered, the '\n' at the end of each line automatically
causes an fflush(.) and adding another won't help.

Well, what you say is true, but the fflush(.) is going to happen,
anyway. If adding one causes a difference in behavior, then
you have a non-conforming implementation (i.e., it isn't C).
