Strange bash behaviour

Consider the program:

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
	printf( "Hello\n" ) ;
	printf( ">> " ) ;
	getchar() ;
}
On compiling this with gcc the behaviour is as expected. i.e.
% foo
Hello
>> [wait for input]
But compiling with Visual C produces some strange results.
1. In an MSDOS window the behaviour is as expected.
2. In a bash window the two printf's do not get flushed even after hitting any 
key plus return.
3. Older versions of cygwin work as expected.
