Data getc(stdin) receives bad message. PLEASE HELP !!
Hello everybody,

I have a C program that uses getc to read messages from the stdin. It stops when it receives an EndOfMessage or EndOfTransmission char (0x03 or 0x04).

while ((c = getc(stdin)) && !IsEndChar(c) && (iMsgLen < MAX_LEN_MESSAGE))
{
\\treatment
....
}

After I receive a good message, I continue reading from the stdin. The problem is that I always receive a weired message: "ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ...". Then I stop receiving when I reach the MAX_LEN_MESSAGE.

Note that the binary representation of "ÿÿÿ.." is "11111111111....".

Do you have any idea of what's going on ?

Forget About it
The message was actually sent by another process... I found who's responsible of that ..
That b** s** took me a whole work day :'(

Thank you anyway
