I certainly hope this isn't true. Any implementation of the standard I/O
library that does this is badly broken. Gets should be freely intermixable
with getchar(), fread(), fgets(), and so on... it should behave as if it's:

	gets(s)
	char *s;
	{
		int c;
		char *ptr;

		while((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
			if(c=='\n') break;
			*ptr++ = c;
		}
		*ptr == 0;
		return (c==EOF)?0:s;
	}
