In the Linux Lab in the University, on some IBM PIs running RedHat-8.0,
if I compile a `hello world' program named `a.cpp' and execute it on the
console from within GNOME, I get no output. But if I switch over to a
virtual console, by pressing alt-ctrl-f2, and execute the binary, I see
the expected output. I don't know why that happens.
