Program to reproduce: ********************* /* foo.c */ #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/time.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { time_t now; now = time(NULL); /* V note there is no newline char */ printf("The date is %s",ctime(&now)); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } *********************** Expected Output: ********************* $./foo The date is Thu Jan 31 15:10:55 2013$ ********************* Note that the shell prompt should directly follow program output. Observed Output: ********************** $./foo The date is Thu Jan 31 15:10:55 2013 $ ********************** Note that the shell prompt appears on the next line, indicating the presence of a newline character. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib Versions of packages libc6 suggests: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc <none> (no description available) ii locales 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: National L -- debconf information: glibc/upgrade: true glibc/restart-services: glibc/disable-screensaver: glibc/restart-failed:
