popup menus under 3.3.2

[nieswand at LISBOA.KS.UIUC.EDU]

Actually the problem is connected to the sprintf() command.
I compose a string in a subroutine using sprintf(), return the pointer,  
and add an item to the menu with addtopup(menu, string). This produces  
the correct entry plus a nonsense entry of random size consisting of  
strange characters.
If I do the same composition right before I call addtopup, it works  
fine. Also when I use fprintf(stderr,"%s\n", string) it prints the  
correct thing. The program runs fine under 3.2, but both the same  
executable and the recompiled version under 3.3.2. produces this strange  
error.
A clue that it has to do with sprintf is, that in this and several other  
programs, which run fine under the old system, in the new system some  
(not all!!) strings, which I prepare with sprintf() and finally print  
with charstr(), don't appear on the screen. (Once even within a loop,  
where I print 4 strings in the same manner, one of which is missing!!)
Can anybody help me?
Please email, since I recently unsubscribed.
