You're telling printf() to expect a string, i.e. the address of the first of a
sequence of bytes, TERMINATED BY A '\0' BYTE; instead you supply printf() with
the address of 1 char. Use `%c' and delete the `&'.

\	if(x == EOF)
\		printf("\nInput stream empty.");
\	else;

Probably you didn't intend that.
