Just a stab in the dark. > Probably because when you executed your program `test', you instead executed /bin/test. This would happen if your PATH variable is set so that the /bin directory is executed before your current directory. This has bitten me several times (I now use try.c instead of test.c for quick tests). If you want to keep with test.c and test, type ./test to make sure you execute the program in your current directory. -- Chris L.
