Yes, I had thought of the exception possibility (although, as you say,
it doesn't really make sense because of the goodbye message).  So
I actually put a try block in my test program (in main):

    // prints only "Message 1" to text1
    try {
      std::cout << "Message 1 (with '\\n')...\n";
      std::cout << "Message 2 (with '\\n')...\n";
    }
    catch (...) {  // no exception thrown -- not the ptoblem
      printf ("exception caught...\n");
    }

The try wraps the calls to operator<< that trigger the calls to xsputn,
so this would seem to show that no exception is being thrown (as no
"exception caught" message is being printed out).

Thanks.
