flushing not always done on exit?

["Shaffer, Kenneth" <shaffek at sciatl dot com>]

To solve some weird "periodic" hangs where a script depends on the output
of a previous portion of the script, I've had to insert "sync" command. My
scripts use awk, sed, and grep, to name a few.

I haven't come up with a simple test case yet, but thought I'd raise a
caution flag.
