   "message:this is a test\r\n"

Thanks to all for your comments. Indeed, the string I'm getting is "message:this is a test\r\n". And 'pmsg' comes also from a file. Oddly enough, I thought I opened the file in text mode. Here's the sequence of calls:

fp = open_file(argv[1], "r"); 

Yes, that is opening in text mode.

As the comments pointed out, this seems to be a Windows issue. That's why in Linux works fine. I'm not opening the file in binary mode though..

See my previous post, it's a Cygwin issue. Specifically, Cygwin is emulation Unix to a degree (that is its purpose) so by default it used the Unix text file conventions. Ask on a Cygwin mailing list for the details.
