Why doesn't the following function in DJGPP...

int main()
{
	printf("Hello.");
	getch();
}

Now, in every other compiler I've seen, the binary will run like this:

Hello. {keypress}{exit}

But when compiled under DJGPP, I get this:

{keypress}Hello. {exit}

This isn't making sense to me. Why isn't the string printing until I press
a key? Shouldn't the program run in the order I wrote the instructions?
