you have an infinite loop here. putting a semicolon after the test condition
of if/while/for statements, it has the effect of typing

while( count < 6 ) { }.

that is, count is never modified in the body of the while loop, so count is
always less than 6.

by the way, general C related questions belong in comp.lang.c or
comp.lang.c.moderated.
