Is there an explanation for the = following=20 behaviour:

ruby -e "puts 'abcd'" > = aaa

file aaa will = contain 'abcd'

However if you run

ruby -e "puts 'abcd';exit!" > = aaa

file aaa will be empty.

At the same time:

ruby -e "puts 'abcd';exit!" =

will display 'abcd' on the = screen.

Somehow, exit! do not only execute = at_exit handler=20 and bypasses finalizers, but also do not flush the last puts if stdout = is=20 redirected. Very strange.

[x86.bison:9]gfb> ruby -v
ruby = 1.6.8=20 (2002-12-24) [i386-solaris2.8]

Thank you,

Gennady.

P.S. Same behaviour on = Linux

[lnx.bear:54]bystr> ruby -v
ruby = 1.6.8=20 (2002-12-24) [i686-linux]
