Hello,

gcc 4.4.3 c89

I have the following source code. And getting a stack dump on the printf.

char **devices;
devices = malloc(10 * sizeof(char*));

strcpy(devices[0], "smxxxx1");

printf("[ %s ]\n", devices[0]); /* Stack dump trying to print */

I am thinking that this should create an char array like this.

devices[0]
devices[1]
devices[2]
devices[4]
etc

And each element I can store my strings.

Many thanks for any suggestions,
