Except that, of course, stderr is unbuffered and stdout is line buffered. I would expect an unbuffered stream to noticed the (out of band) closure of its file descriptor before a buffered one.
I concede that there is still something wrong here as stdout should be line buffered when it refers to a terminal and yet the error is not discovered in the fprintf (which should of course flush the stream due to the newline). Mind you, I have been mistake before ... ;-)
