>if (buffer = (char *) malloc(strlen(string)) == NULL)

Henry has already pointed out the two bugs here; I'd like to note that, as
written, this code is assigning an integer expression to a pointer variable.
Shame on you for ignoring the compiler warning, or shame on the compiler for
silently accepting it.  (This isn't the VMS compiler again, is it?)
