NO NO NO! gets() is one of the most dangerous function and should
never be used. It's considered deprecated... it does not check the
length of its input, so you can easily enter 100 characters even if
you only allocated 5 characters, resulting in a buffer overflow and a
very notorious method for breaching security.
