In short, I'm stumped. See my other mail. The problem lies in converting the return value of strdup. They forgot to include string.h, therefore strdup is expected to return an int which it does not do. Therefore the conversion make a pointer (8 byte) from an int (4 byte) which is a part of that pointer. IOW: The address is mangled, there you go -> SIGSEGV. Greetings Torsten
