	Dear friends,

	I have noticed a very strange behaviour during programming with DJGPP (
latest version ).

	There follows a snippet of code, that demonstrates the problem :
.
.
.
char buffer[2048];
int avar=0;
int bvar=0;
.
.

int main(void)
{
.
.
.
strcpy(buffer,"string1");
afunction(buffer,avar);
.
.
.
strcpy(buffer,"string2");
bfunction(buffer,bvar);
.
.
.
}

	Allthough the first "strcpy" is executed O.K. and the following function
call ( "afunction..." ) completes O.K. also, the second "strcpy" does
nothing to variable "buffer" and the subsequent call fails. During
debugging ( through RHIDE ), I seem to not being able to modify the content
of the variable "buffer" via Control-F4 operation.

	I have been spending countless hours trying to figure out what is really
hapening , but to no avail.

	I would really appreciate all the help I can get from you, dear fellows
!!!
