[ECOS]A question about printf

I was debugging some SmartMedia code today in eCos and noticed that the 
following code:

int i;
for (i=0;i<4096;i++) {
int k;
// some processing which assigns a value to k
printf("** Found logical block %d at physical block %d ",i, k);
}

would skip some of the last bytes of the output. However, if I added \n to 
the end of the printf format string, then all output is OK.

Looks like a buffering issue of some kind perhaps, try adding \n to the end 
of your printf strings and see if that fixes it.
