You neglected to say what kind of system you are running on. However,
problems passing strings between C and Fortran programs are common in
many environments. Try forcing the string to contain a null (all bits zero)
as the last character, and be sure the C routine references the string
properly. You may be getting the address of the string when you need the
address of the address, or some such, depending on machine and OS.
