It could be a bug in Windows and/or the C runtime.

Change the printf() line to read:

     printf("aefore newline\nafter newline %ld\n",nc);

On Windows 98, with MSVC 6.0a (compiler version 12.00.8168) typing
"foobar" newline Ctrl-Z newline, I get:

    foobar
    after newline 7

Note that everything in the printf() prior to the newline is gone.

On Windows XP:

    foobar
    ^Z
    before newline
    after newline 7

And the program has not yet exited. I need to press Enter one more time
to get the program to exit.
