Bug#238638: /usr/X11R6/bin/xev: [xev] lost output when redirecting

[Bill Currie <bill@taniwha.org>]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/xev

when redirecting the output of xev (eg, xev > foo), the output file is
truncated on exit due to libc buffering (and the only way to exit being
a suitable signal). Adding "fflush (stdout);" at the end of the main
loop fixes this.
