I just came by the problem recently. Essentially, I am creating an instance of a smaller structure, which is local to a function; therefore, is placed on the stack. I then take it and copy over all of the info placed in the smaller structure into some bigger structure, which is not local. What happens is that the pointers from the smaller structure are now saved in the bigger structure. Then I am using the pointer from the bigger structure elsewhere in my code and that is when it appears to be crashing.
I am pretty certain that is the problem. I'm fudging with it right now as a matter of fact. Thanx for your time.
