Re: Reg seg. violations

I hear that segmenation faults happen when the computer tries to follow
a null pointer.  the getenv() function returns NULL when that function
fails.  So why not try something likes this?

printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
if (getenv("QUERY_STRING") != NULL)
{ 
  line_buffer = (char *) malloc(strlen(QUERY_STRING) + 1);
  strcpy(line_buffer, getenv("QUERY_STRING");
}
