Oracle 7.2 on an aix box - printf and dbx don't work

I recently installed Oracle 7.2 on an aix 4.1 box. I am planning to implement several Pro*C programs, however I am having a couple of problems my prototype program.

First, text printed with printf does not appear on the screen (even with fflush(stdout) ). Non-Pro*C programs work fine, but programs compiled with the proc.mk makefile that is supplied with Oracle do not.

And second, when I single step through the program in dbx the program statements appear to execute out of order. I am sure the program is executing correctly and that somehow dbx is out of sync with the source file. I do know that it is using the most currect source and I have added the -g option to the compiler options in proc.mk.

I have seen the dbx problem on an aix box before, but never the printf problem. I am sure that I am not the first to have these problems. Have I done something wrong or this an IBMism? Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
