Hello, always nice to hear about new drivers :)
OTOH, check for any variables you might have been re-using, so their earlier state impacts later runs - whether buffers allocated statically (or by caller without rewinding the pointer and maybe nulling the contents), or position counters, etc. Similarly, be sure to pre-initialize anything of value and not start out with random bits from the stack.
Also if it is about a series of calls - are there some (loop?) conditions between the calls that might just preclude them from being called in the first place?
Old-school tracing with debug printouts is good in very many cases; otherwise it can really help to stage a run in an IDE with a debugger. Cross-platform wise, I've had consistently good experience with NetBeans (installing the C/C++ plugin from the NB 8.2 archive after every NB upgrade is a PITA though); VSCode also worked (at least when I drilled into NUT for Windows builds with MSYS2) - hints on both are in NUT docs.
Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov

Thanks for the response Jim.
The problem had to do with my mis-understanding of the strtok library function internals. Making a local copy of the source string in my function(s) solved the problem as the source buffer was getting whacked by strtok.
Moving on.
