Sorry; I'm failing to understand this. I don't see how making stdin
unbuffered changes the behaviour of fgets() at all. fgets() can still
return because it's filled its buffer, at which point the code I quoted
would gleefully replace the last character with \r\n. Am I missing
something?
No, I didn't read carefully and thought you referred to the bug where
the OS buffers are filled and long lines are truncated. I guess it
was fixed long time ago though. Either raising the buffer size so
that long lines aren't corrupted, or doing what you suggest seems like
a very good idea.
