Subject: Buffering problems

I'm trying to redirect stdout and stderr of a program to a log file.

So, I'm doing something like:

$stdout.sync = true
$stderr.sync = true
$stdout.reopen File.open(some_log_file, "w")
$stderr.reopen File.open(some_log_file, "w")

exec 'program'

Standard out and error are being redirected to the log file, but they
are being buffered.

Any ideas on why that might be?

Thanks,
Joe
