If I understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fgets corrytly, then the code  
assumes lines to be no longer than 29 characters because fgets always  
appends a NUL-byte to the string read (or do I misunderstand something  
here?). This is why I also thought that you could omit changing the  
lineending to a NUL-byte. Howevere, just changing all /r, /n to NUL is the  
safest way, I guess.

Why does it fail in an uneasy way? Will strlen not terminate, because  
there is no NUL-byte in the string returned by fgets then?
