            Bug ID: 37345
           Summary: Wine does not flush stdout if stdout is redirected
                    (Regression!)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.27
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: msvcrt
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: anduchs at gmail.com

When calling wine from another process after redirecting stdout to a pipe, wine
does not flush the stdout-buffer correctly anymore. This is a regression.

Attached is a usecase. To test do:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc helloworld.c
gcc callwine.c
./a.out

What will happen is:
- on a buggy wine it will take 10 seconds and then all of the stdout-buffer is
flushed on the exit of the child. (imagine the child would run longer than the
10 seconds)
- on a good wine we will see some stdout-content then 10 second sleep and then
the rest of the content.

This is a regesstion that happened between 1.7.4 and 1.7.5. The bisect
identified commit afec0b00bd6250fe21e8deccbc8116a4aca6a7a4 "msvcrt: Make the
first call to fwrite buffered." as problem.

The attached patch is a revert of this commit ported forward to 1.7.27.
Unfortunately I don't quite grasp the logics of the offending commit. If
somebody who knows that patch could help, I'd highly appreciate it.

Cheers,
Andreas
