Yes it's just a = simplification.

The code work fine in a single task, = but when there=20 are 2 ou 3 tasks who used sprintf, this code crash.

My question

do you know if=20 the function sprintf used dos call dpmi_int (0x21) or return
= the=20 processor to the real mode or used malloc ?

because malloc=20 is not "reentrant" or multitask!

Sorry for my=20 english.

Thanks

Aye,=20 is this the actuall code that's giving you the problem or just a=20 simplification?

int main(void) = {
    char=20 chaf[100];
    sprintf(chaf, "%d", 100);=20
    printf("chaf length is %d and looks like = %s\n",
       strlen(chaf),=20 chaf);
    return 0;
}

Can't guess = your=20 problem. The above code works fine here.
