fprintf drops the line, and return a negative value, because the length of the string does not correspond to the give value. This can be seen from strace: fprintf(0x7fa39d0b4780, "%*.*s\n", 61, 61, "aurel32:x:1000:1000:Aurelien Jar"...aurel32:x:1000:1000:Aurelien Jarno,,,:/home/aurel32:/bin/bash) = 62 fprintf(0x7fa39d0b4780, "%*.*s\n", 45, 45, "test:x:1001:1002:T\351st,,,:/home/"...) = -1 One of the solution is to check for an error in fprintf(), or to let the program running in a C locale, by removing the switch at the beginning of main. -- .''`.
