This can't be a TurboC bug can it?

I am having a VERY weird problem in TurboC. My code looks
something like this:
typedef struct{
. . .
char *str;
int type;
}FIELD;
int proc(FIELD *fld)
{
. . .
if(!valid_str(fld->str))
return ERROR;
. . .
}
Here's the weird part. Using Turbo Debugger I have found that my
program crashes right after this statement. I perform a watch on
fld, fld->str, fld->type. Before the call to valid_str() all of the
variables are fine. Upon return from valid_str(), however, the
pointer, fld, is screwed up which of course in turn screws up
fld->str and fld->type. I assume that fld is being overwritten
somehow but I can't figure out how. Valid_str() does nothing to
manipulate fld and the only function that valid_str() calls is
atoi() (yes, I do include stdlib.h). If anyone has any pointers
for me I'd sure appreciate hearing them.
