Directing output to file triggers errors and fails to write the closed captions 
to the file:

$ zvbi-atsc-cc -m -v -c -n CBS-HD >> out.txt
zvbi-atsc-cc: Opening dvb/adapter0.
zvbi-atsc-cc: Signal detected.
zvbi-atsc-cc: Opened dvb/adapter0, tuned to 627.000 MHz and started
capture thread.
zvbi-atsc-cc: Capture thread ready.
zvbi-atsc-cc: TS transmission error.
zvbi-atsc-cc: TS transmission error.

With the -C switch, I simply get no output; the file is created, but remains 
empty:

$ zvbi-atsc-cc -m -v -C ~/out.txt -n CBS-HD

It appears that the problem with the output file not receiving any content is 
caused by file buffering. Basically the content is written to a 
buffer, but the buffer is not flushed. After adding a fflush() function call, 
the caption content showed up:

 }

This fixes the bug.

Cheers,
