system() --- the C function from hell?

[Sudheer Apte]

I suspect you've simply forgotten to allocate space for the string str.
(Maybe you've declared it a char * ?) I doubt if system() has anything
to do with it. So you need to define something like

	char str[40];

before you sprintf() into it.

Thanks,
