Hehe, just got your post and Michael's. ;-)

strtok shouldn't be inserting a trailing newline anywhere. The only 
character it inserts is a NULL (which replaces the delimiter). Are you 
sure something else wasn't inserting the newline (or for that matter, 
the newline might have already been there)?
