strlen() returns the length of a string _without_ the null terminating
character.  Try changing the line as follows:

      KeyWord=new char[strlen(keyword)+1];

And see if it works.  BTW, although variable names are case sensitive,
it is less confusing to use names that are spelled differently, rather
than KeyWord and keyword.
