(when 'this is a test\n' is only 14 characters long, w/o the '\n')

In other installations (Linux) works just fine, but in my Eclipse/CDT/cygwin sometimes is not.

Am I using strtok incorrectly? is the 's2' pointer messing things up?

Thanks,

Where did the text string passed in 'pmsg' come from?  Was it read
from a file?  If it was read from a file, was the file opened in text
or binary mode?  If you are reading a text file opened in binary mode
under Windows, you are getting the string as it appears in the file,
which would be:

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

Note that since Cygwin is emulating some of Unix it may think of \n as being the line terminator rather than \r\n even when you open a stream in text mode, so you could still get a spurious \r. For the intricacies of Cygwin line termination you will have to ask on a Cygwin mailing list, but if this is your problem one option is to check if the last character of the line you read is \r and if so strip it.
