You say that all 4 args are on the stack. What are their actual addresses?
Run with --db-attach=yes, say 'y' when asked, and use gdb to look around.
One possibility is that sel_anw (the format string) has been overwritten
because the string being built into select_anw (the buffer) has overflowed.
Try changing the code to use
snprintf(select_anw, LEN_SELECT, sel_anw, name, name);
which is much safer.
