Yes, sprintf is pure evil. snprintf is less evil.

Right, it was a buffer overrun. Simple as that. Thanks guys!

It would be best to convert all your sprintf calls to snprintf, which
is a safer equivalent that won't overflow the buffer. If the value is
too long to fit, it'll be truncated instead of overflowing and
corrupting the stack. (This type of overflow is one of the main causes
of security holes
Sprintf() is returning the same value, using %d on 10.5.
I meant sprintf()'s returned int value, which is the count of
formatted output chars, not including the trailing null. Read 'man
sprintf'.
Or just try the simple expedient:
char str[80];
-- GG

In this case val was exactly nine digits: 213294334. But it can also
be greater sometimes.
Sprintf() is returning the same value, using %d on 10.5.

sprintf(str, "%d", val);
What is the value of val at the time the crash occurs? Will it
always convert to 9 digits or less?
What value is sprintf() returning?
You might want to use snprintf() or asprintf().
