BTW, 3.0.4 "final" has apparently been released today. I'm assuming you'll want a separate thread announcing that. But ....

This "bug" I mentioned is in both 3.0.2 and 3.0.4, so it's not a regression. I can't easily replicate it (in made-up tiny source example) except with my "b" (b.pas) Befunge-93 interpreter (which compiles as-is with -Mtp or -Miso). Dumb example, but it does exhibit this problem.

Just to clarify, output is fine ... except when redirected to file. Then it's either truncated or not shown. It doesn't have any problem when compiled with {$mode tp}.

I did randomly get the idea to add a "flush(output);" at the end of my source, and that seems to workaround / fix the problem.

I (again) tried checking RTLSRC.ZIP for clues. The best guess I can come up with is that SYSTEM.INC's InternalExit isn't calling SysFlushStdIO when in ISO mode.

I almost don't think this is worth an official bug report. (I can't even remember how to file a FPC bug, only did so like once. Here? Bah, I forget my login. Username is case sensitive, ugh. Okay, lemme check my email to reset my dumb password.)
