There's absolutelly no need to flush a c stream before exiting a 
program, as the language defines that streams are flushing when a 
program ends by normal means.

The point isn't to make sure the output is flushed, but to make sure we
report errors if, for some reason, the output cannot be flushed.  For
example, "svn log > filename" should report a disk-full error if we run
out of space writing the log output.
