    Did you write this?
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    It looks like a long program with a simple problem. Why don't you isolate the input and output functions you refer to and write a much shorter program to test them?

    Seems like an ideal time to get familiar with the debugger then.

    Such things as
    - add breakpoints to stop the code at suspect places (or known good places just before)
    - examine variables, or maybe even watch them
    - step into / step over code to progress the program flow in a very controlled manner.

    When results != expectation, you've found a bug.

    Rinse and repeat as necessary.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
