If you're talking about *unbuffered* streams, then it shouldn't matter whether 
you do two printfs or one.  The results of the "%d" should be written "as soon 
as possible" with _IONBF and readable to the "%.5s".

I think we're into severe pathology here, I haven't seen anything which leads 
me to believe that the governing standards made specific guarantees with 
regards to the cases you're bringing up.  If you can quote specific passages to 
back up your claim, then fine.  But so far your cases haven't held up IMHO.
