>Description:
i noticed some strange behavior with using the strtok() function, it worked normally into my program until i got the bright idea of making a function out of some duplicate code and it mysteriously caused strtok to seg fault even though the functions that i made don't call it

i tried to reproduce this on a smaller scale w/o sending you my program so here's what i came up with, i didn't think this was going to seg fault at all but it did so...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define DELIMS " \t\n"

typedef struct
{
	char   uin[9];			/* User ID */
	char   last[20];		/* Last name */
	char   first[15];		/* First name */
	int    grades[6];		/* List of student's 6 grades */
	float  average;			/* Student's average */
} studentRecord;

int main(void)
{
	int i;
	studentRecord *stuRec;
	char *string = "jdoe\tDoe\tJohn\t98\t90\t87\t88\t86\t82\t88.5";

	stuRec = (studentRecord *) malloc(sizeof(studentRecord));

	strcpy(stuRec->uin,	strtok(string, DELIMS));
	strcpy(stuRec->last,	strtok(NULL, DELIMS));
	strcpy(stuRec->first,	strtok(NULL, DELIMS));

	for(i = 0; i < 6; ++i)
		stuRec->grades[i] = atoi(strtok(NULL, DELIMS));

	stuRec->average	= atof(strtok(NULL, DELIMS));
}
>How-To-Repeat:
just compile the above example with a "gcc filename.c" and do an "./a.out"
