I've had a similar problem (keeping the log file in the event the power
goes off) and simply calling fflush(fptr) after every fprintf seems to
commit the data to disk right away. (Including writing over a LAN Server
to a networked disk).  I even wrote a little function wrlog using stdargs
that first passes its args to fprintf(logfptr, then fflush(logfpr)'s.

Of course, fflush _may_ work differently under gcc (I tried this with
both icc and ms c 6.0)

Hope this helps,
Dimitri
