I'm just making a note that the fgets function is not very well suited
for CRNL style line endings.  In the cases discussed here, you appear to
only handle linux files with NL style line endings, but if you ever try
to handle CRNL files, fgets may read CR as the last character on one
invocation and then forget that until the next invocation and thus fail
to find the line ending.  The proposed function a few messages back
would in that case read two lines into the buffer, and they would be
separated by a CR.

For this reason, I consider fgets completely unusable (on Windows) for
anything where the maximum line length isn't known in advance.

But maybe wine does not have this problem?  However, my XP SP3 sure does.

Cheers,
Peter
