Title: Help wanted

Hi, all:

I have a simple program(see below), it ran without any problem in sun (with sun's compiler). However, when I compiled it in gcc on PC, it crashed at line 13.  I tried to use strtok and some other string functions but none of them seems works fine.  Does anyone know why?

Thanks!

Jane
