malloc problem

[Oscar Wong]

I dont know why the program doesn't allow to enter next line when the input is 1023 char...
but 1022 char is working properly, i think the problem is in the malloc
any comments?
The purpose of the program is to read the inputted text form user, and printf in order to the screen.

    while (1) {
        sarray[nostring] = (char*)malloc(sizeof(temp));


        fgets(temp, 1024, stdin);
        if (temp[0] == '\n')
            break;


        strcpy(sarray[nostring], temp);    
        numstring++;
    }

    free(strarray);


  getchar();    
}

That's how fgets works, from the fgets manual page.

char *
fgets(char *restrict s, int n, FILE *restrict stream);

The fgets() function reads at most one less than the number of characters specified by n from the given stream and stores them in the string s.

Edit: The reason for this is that a string is terminated by a '\0' character, if fgets read all 1024 characters then it would have to place the null character at index 1025, which would be out of bounds.
