Hi,
Check the following:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    char *s;

    s=malloc(3000);

    fgets(s, 3000, stdin);
    return 1;
}

Althought I malloced 3000 chars I am only able to write 129... For example:
Compile it, and just start to write... After a bunch of chars (129 from my
experience), your PC will beep and you cannot write anything more. Why and
how can I solve this since I need to receive big strings from user?

Best regards,
