 Arg!!  I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

I have this code that *was* working but now, all of the sudden, it
has stopped working.  It is so trivial, I can't see what other coding
I could have done that would cause it to fail.  Here is a fragment
represeting what I'm trying to do:

	double	d;
	int	i;
	char	str[255];
	FILE	*infile;

	/* infile opened */
	while (EOF != fscanf(infile,"%1s",str)) 
	  switch(str[0]) {
	    case 'I' :
		fscanf(infile,"%d",&i);
		printf("i: %d\n",i);
		fgets(str,255,infile);		/* flush the line */
		break;
	    case 'D' :
		fscanf(infile,"%f",&d);
		printf("d: %f\n",d);
		fgets(str,255,infile);		/* flush the line */
		break;
	    default :
		exit(0);
	}

This code is applied to an input file such as:

I 5
D 0.1

The output I get is:
I 5
D 0.000000

*W*H*Y*?????  It was giving correct output yesterday...  How do
I go about trying to see where the fscanf is failing?  This is the
first code to get executed in my program...

Please help, I'm going wacko (ha ha, hee hee...)
