Please post here the entire contents of the screen when the program
dies.  The backtrace produced by the debugger at the point of the
crash is also important, so please post that as well.

In general, I suspect that you overrun one or more of the string
buffers you are using to read file names.  You use `gets' to read the
file names, which is inherently unsafe; I suggest to use `fgets'
instead.
