    Why does it hang?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    unsigned int gcd(unsigned int a, unsigned int b) {
    	unsigned int t;
    	while (b) {
    		t = b;
    		b = a&#37;b;
    		a = t;
    	}
    	return a;
    }
    
    void inFlush(FILE *in) {
    	int ch;
    	while ((ch = fgetc(in)) != EOF && ch != '\n') {
    		/* f l u s h i n g */
    	}
    }
    
    char *skipSpace(char *inStr) {
    	while (*inStr == ' ' || *inStr == '\t') {
    		++inStr;
    	}
    	return inStr;
    }
    
    int main() {
    	char buff[1024];
    	char *p;
    	unsigned int a, b;
    	while (1) {
    		printf("Enter value for a & b (q will quit): ");
    		fgets(buff, sizeof(buff), stdin);
    		inFlush(stdin);
    		p = skipSpace(buff);
    		if (*p == 'q') break;
    		sscanf(p, "%u %u", &a, &b);
    		printf("GCD of %u & %u is: %u\n\n", a, b, gcd(a, b));
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
    This program just hangs even when I enter 'q' just after running
    Edit: it needs two <enter>s in a row to run further.
