Redirecting a C program's STDOUT

This seems really simple but I can't make it work. I'm running Tru64
V4.0D. I have a little C program that looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>

main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
        while (1) {
                printf( "testing\n" );
                sleep( 3 );
        }
}

If I compile and run it, it generate the lines like you'd expect. HOWEVER,
if I run it with STDOUT redirected to a file, nothing appears in the file.

        abc >& abc.log &

The log is always empty. Any idea what I'm missing here?
