bug in console program

[ubuntucuber]

I an trying to figure out why this program will  compile, and execute, however does not display any data that is part of the program.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
char buffer[23][80];
for(int a = 0; a < 23; a++) {
for(int b = 0; b < 80; b++) {
buffer[a][b] = ' ';
}
}
char in[80];
char text[75];
int x, y;
bool quit = false;
cout << endl;
while (quit == false) {
cin.getline(in, 80);
if(in[0] == 'r' && in[1] == 'e' && in[2] == 's' && in[3] == 'e' && in[4] == 't') {
for(int a = 0; a < 23; a++) {
for(int b = 0; b < 80; b++) {
buffer[a][b] = ' ';
}
}
} else {
x = atoi((const char*)in[0]) * 10 + atoi((const char*)in[1]);
y = atoi((const char*)in[2]) * 10 + atoi((const char*)in[3]);
for(int a = 4; a < 80; a++) {
buffer[y][x + a - 4] = in[a];
if((int)in[a] == 0) {
buffer[y][x + a - 4] = ' ';
}
}
}
cout << endl;
for(int a = 0; a < 23; a++) {
for(int b = 0; b < 80; b++) {
cout << buffer[a][b];
}
}
}
return 0;
}

And the output:

bash: line 1:  2209 segmentation fault          /home/LINUXHATER/Projects/consolegui/bin/Debug/consolegui

Also, I am ironically using ubuntu linux, MonoDevelop IDE and Geany with g++ compiler

Edit:Geany also gives the same error.

FYI, it is not possible for anyone to help debug this unless you let us know what you are entering and what you expect as a result. You must be entering something for the cin.getline() command. We need to know what that is.

The string I entered at cin.getline() is "0123set" which should print the word set on the second line starting at position 23. I should then be able to enter "0000random_phrase" which would also print the text random phrase in the top left corner while still showing the word set at the right position.

Try to clear the buffer.

How would I do that?
