Hi Ben,

You say the crash occurs in this line:

   individuals[individualCount++] = individualsForPop[i];

The problem may be in the post-increment (individualCount++). IIRC, there is no agreed-upon compiler standard as to whether the post- increment will occur before or after the assignment. It is possible that you're using the bytes after the end of the array as a pointer, which points to a random location rather than to your desired data. If you want the increment to happen after the assignment, do this:

   for (i = 0; i < individualCountForPop; ++i) {
       individuals[individualCount] = individualsForPop[i];
       individualCount++;
   }

If you want it before, just reverse the order of the two lines.

I've had many a headache in the past with things like this!!

Huh. Could've sworn that was well-defined. Well, I've been away from coding for about six years now, guess I've gotten a little rusty. In any case, this change does not fix the problem; same crash, on the assignment line.
