[comp.os.vms] FSCANF IS FOOBARRED!

       ********* FSCANF IS FOOBARRED ************

It appears that after doing a number of operations with
fscanf, it returns garbage!  The system doesn't complain.
It justs gives you the garbage and sends you on your way.

User stack space??? System virtual memory??? Bug in VMS5.1???  
Bug in C3.1???

Any hints on where to go next
will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Bug in your program?

Perhaps if you could give just a few more details someone might
be able to help.
