Has dbgptr been set to some allocated memory by this time? If it is as you
originally set it, its pointing to read-only space within your program code,
the location where the string "12:34.5" is stored.
You need to either declare dbgptr as a char[8] (if it can't get longer than
7 characters) or allocate it dynamically from the heap using MemPtrNew.
