yes. redirecting.

i have the same setup on a laptop and a desktop ps. while it works on the 
laptop the redirecting to the textfile hast a too long delay on the desktop pc 
(same dist, same binaries). 

meanwhile i found a explanation at 
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.suse.programming-e/2005-08/msg00030.html
i changed the main program (that one with the output) so that it writes direct 
into a textfile instead to stdout and this solves my problem. but i still don't 
know if it's possible and how i can modify the output buffer to stdout.

thanx & bye...masc.
