Note that (sizeof(message)) is 6... the suggested "write" will
solve the question on that other thread... how to write a NUL to a file.

( Also note that the form as it appears in the Subject: line has
  been known to break pcc-based compilers if I remember right... they
  were promoting "foobar" to a pointer "too soon". Getting Jeff's verseion
  wrong seems much, much rarer. )
