Ah! This must be what I thought the '\0' was doing to
the database. Because when I did an insert with a
string that I had just read in from user input there
was a newline after it in postgresql (not very nice).
I thought that the '\0'-character did that, that's why
I wanted to get rid of it. But I see now that it's
actually the '\n' I want to get rid of then if I use
fgets()...

Thanks for the info!
