Hi,

Why does the following code seg fault before returning:

int main()
{
char iD[20];
memset (iD, 0, 20);

char* prefix;
srand (time(NULL) );
int iPrefix = rand()%1000000;

sprintf(prefix, "%i", iPrefix);
int len = strlen(prefix);

char* staticChar = "123456789";

//set prefix into ID
memcpy(iD, prefix, len);
// append static value
memcpy(iD+len, staticChar, 20-len);

cout << "END " << endl;

return 0;
}

At the minute, the cout will display, but I get a segmentation fault.
