A truism that my mother taught me applies here...
"You cant stuff a size 10 foot into size 7 shoes. Either the shoes split
or your foot does."
In this case, you can't stuff more than 80 chars into an 80 char array.
If you do, you write over something (what, we cannot tell you) outside
of the array, and cause your program to fall over.
In other words (to quote Mel Brooks) "Don't do that."
