I C a bug, but I can't C how to fix it...

In my client code, I'm using fgets() to read in my console input...but, if I enter more on the stream than fgets() reads in, it gets read into the next stream...which may or may not be bad (in this case it is).

I've tried doing things like using fseek(), but that doesn't work for stdin. I'm tempted to try and slurp away the extra bytes with an extra fgets(), but I'm sure there's a Better Way To Do It (TM).

Any suggestions?
