I've asked this question before, but here goes again.
Should

cout << "\n" 

flush cout?

The libg++ test suite seems to imply that it should.  I'm not getting
that behavior on the pmax.  Maybe I should go debug the thing?

In Stroustrup's book, it says that and ostream should be flushed
in its destructor. The libg++ ~ostream doesn't seem to to this.
What am I missing?
