That's funny, it doesn't even compile on my freebsd:

trisha% cat test.c
/* Check if we must stop */
if(tf_stat_file != NULL)
{
   tf_stat = fopen(tf_stat_file, "r");
   if (tf_stat != NULL)
   {
     /* Get state */
     stat_state=fgetc(tf_stat);

     /* Torrentflux asked to shutdown the torrent */
     if (stat_state == '0')
     {
       mustDie = 1;
     }
   }
   fclose(tf_stat);
}
trisha% cc test.c
test.c:2: error: syntax error before "if"

IOW, if you expect usable help please supply some context.

Later,
Micah
