I'm guessing that MLton's IO library was line buffering the output and 
C's printf wasn't.

I agree.  It looks windows specific.  My only guesses are that you
need to use another flag/mode when opening the file or there is a bug
in the posix emulation library you are linking with.

I have no idea about char code 26.  27 is escape, but that's probably
irrelevant.
