fgets behavior

  Read characters from a file, stopping after a newline, or EOF, or
  LEN characters have been read, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.  The
  characters read, including the possible trailing newline, are
  returned as a string.
"

...because that's how it turns out to work here: i.e., I specify LEN to be
beyond several newlines but fgets stops reading after the first newline.

Or is that not the intended behavior?
