Oh sorry I misread your message. The fflush() above isn't sufficient
because it's not called in my case. I don't know when the "if" will be
true but calling two fflush() is better than calling none.

Maybe calling only once above them is better, but this will leave the
fflush() a little far from where it's needed.

What does HFILE_USE_OPTIONS mean? This seems to be unset when zsh exits.
