C code working in Linux but not in MacOS Mojave

The code that I'm trying to run is working flawlessly in linux but unfortunately it's not working on macOS.

For the same code below, when I try to run on macOS Mojave with a gcc compiler I'm getting a Segmentation Fault: 11

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
  FILE *fa;
  FILE *fb;
  int ca, cb;

  char buf[1000];
  fa = fopen("q4in.c", "r");
  if (fa == NULL) {
    printf("Cannot open file");
    exit(0);
  }
  fb = fopen("q4out.c", "w");
  ca = getc(fa);
  while (ca != EOF) {
    int i = 0;
    while (ca != '\n') {
      buf[i++] = ca;
      ca = getc(fa);
      buf[i] = '\0';
    }
    ca = getc(fa);
  }
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    printf("%c",buf[i]);
  }
}

I'm going to take a wild guess, and offer as an alternative that the MacOs vs Linux is a red herring.

And that the real problem is that the last line of the input file on the Mac doesn't terminate with \n.
