/*
 *  There is a problem with istream::getline(char *buf, int len);
 *  If it doesn't reach the limit len, it gets the folowing '\n', whereas
 *  of it reaches the limit, it doesn't extract the following '\n'.
 *  This is possibly a bug.
 *  The long & short is that you can't rely on it to always remove
 *  the '\n'.  My solution is to use istream::get( char *, int);, which
 *  never gets the '\n', then to extract the '\n' with istream::ignore().
