Perhaps buffers are not flushing. Try sending all output to stderr in
the program code, rather than stdout (since stderr is not buffered). Or
else use some unbuffered stream. You could even run it in gdb and single
step it once it gets where you are interested. You can set the arguments
to your program run with the "set args ..." command, and even use the |&
tee LogFileName.txt in addition (there are a few creative ways to work
in gdb). Which reminds me, this program isn't trying to background is
it?
