Maybe some clarification is needed to what Thierry wrote:
1. Iostreams are flushed automatically upon destruction, i.e. no extra
flushing is needed.
2. In many cases you don't *want* to flush the stream after every output, if
you for instance write to harddisk. In this case flushing would cost lots of
performance. The big advantage of iostreams over old printf's is the builtin
buffering mechanism.
3. `ends' is the end-of-string character. It doesn't flush anything.
Being the smart ass that i am i have to admit that i don't know either what
caused Fabio's problem...
