However,  When you read a line using fgets into buf with a maximum
length of BUFSIZ, you may not have read to whole line.  If the line
returned by fgets() does not terminate with a \n character you know
that there is more characters in that line (unless you reached end of
file and the last line isn't terminated by \n).
In the code you can either say this is a fatal error and diagnose it as
such, but as you already handle line continuations you could simply go
around the loop and append the rest of the line to the partial line.


The following patch is untested and may not work,
