You should flush stdio(3) buffers before exiting. Try with fflush(3).
This program exits with the _exit(2) system call without flushing=20
buffers nor deinitializing C standard libraries.
If you try to exit with exit(3) libc it will work.

You can the behaviour of your current program with this simple C program:

  main()
  {
    printf("hello");
    _exit(0);
  }

If you change _exit(2) by exit(3) it will work...
