I don't see why they are not giving you compile errors
since the size of an array is supposed to be a const
or a literal, not a variable.
When you say "until i" can you provide the code you
are using for the loop? If you are using the value at
buf[i] then you should be a segfault sometimes. It
depends on whether you have control of that address or
some other program does.
Need more information.
