for starters:
Code:
sprintf(buf,"%s",a[1]);

should be "%d" not "%s". This causes the printf code to interpret the variable as a nul-terminated string. It keeps reading the "string" byte-by-byte until it finds ascii 0, nul.
If it reads past the end of the stack, boom.

STRINGS(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						STRINGS(3)

NAME
bcmp, bcopy, bzero, ffs, index, rindex, strcasecmp, strncasecmp -- string operations LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> int bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len); void bcopy(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len); void bzero(void *b, size_t len); int ffs(int value); char * index(const char *s, int c); char * rindex(const char *s, int c); int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2); int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t len); DESCRIPTION
These functions all live in the strings.h header file. Except for ffs(), they operate on strings. index(), rindex(), and strcasecmp() need nul-terminated strings. See the specific manual pages for more information. See string(3) for string functions that follow ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'') or ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''), bstring(3) for functions that operate on strings that are not nul-terminated, and bitstring(3) for bit-string manipulation macros. SEE ALSO
bcmp(3), bcopy(3), bitstring(3), bstring(3), bzero(3), ffs(3), index(3), rindex(3), strcasecmp(3), string(3) BSD
