Pseudo-Terminal Programming-Extra newline

Hello everyone, im having a hard time figuring out why the program posted below prints an extra newline every time I type the enter key.I suspect this has to do with the terminal line discipline, but I can't really understand why.I have tried turning on/off several terminal options and disable special characters but to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Source code follows(compiled in x86, linux-2.6.31.5 - gcc 4.3.3):

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <termios.h>

void
die(char *ptr, ...)
{
	va_list vlist;
	va_start(vlist, ptr);
	char ch;

	while ((ch = *ptr++) != '\0') {
		if (ch == '%' && *ptr != '\0') {
			ch = *ptr++;
			switch(ch) {
				case 'd': printf("%d", va_arg(vlist, int)); break;
				case 'e': printf("%e", va_arg(vlist, double)); break;
				case 'c': printf("%c", va_arg(vlist, int)); break;
				case 's': printf("%s", va_arg(vlist, char *)); break;
				default: va_end(vlist);exit(1);
	

			}
			

		} else
			printf("%c", ch);


	}

	va_end(vlist);
	exit(1);
}

main(void)

    int pid,pid2;
