Its overflowing because, as Ben pointed out, TimeToAscii requires timeStringLenght characters not 6. You may think it uses only 5 characters but you never know what the routine is actually doing. My bet is the routine creates the whole string and crops off the parts you specified you didn't want such as am/pm or seconds. Change Char strTime[6]; to Char strTime[timeStringLenght]; and I'll bet the bus error will stop.
