	Well, from what you have posted it is hard to tell if it is your
fault or not.  What is "str" declared as.  If it is declared as a "char *"
before the integers, and you don't allocate space for it then the
sprintf might just be writing all over the integers.  But, like I said, without
a bit more information it is hard to tell if it is your fault or system()'s.
