I've tested, and tested, and tested some more....this is really starting to get to me. Another odd, random bug.

I have a string 'dipswtxt' which is used to write out text on the screen, and shows things like volumes and other things. I use a Text to show it on the screen, there are multiple lines, dipswtxt is defined like this:

string dipswtxt[9999];

which is fine, that means that dipswtxt has 9999 characters it can hold.

Now, sample code:

Code:
str_cat(dipswtxt, "\n               Sound Volume ->            ");
////put sound volume code here
str_for_num(tmp_str3, sfx_volume);
str_cat(dipswtxt, tmp_str3);


simple enough, right? It should output something like this:

Code:
Sound Volume ->            25


'25' being the number of the sfx_volume. Well here's the thing, most of the time it shows up like that, but sometimes it shows up like this:

Code:
Sound Volume ->            T


.....T? Where the hell did T come from?

Before you ask, yes sfx_volume is a number, no it is not a vector, and yes this is the only code partaining to turning that particular variable into a string. I have no idea why there is a problem. This bug is soooo random, and it doesn't only happen on one system, on another system instead of a 'T', there is a '\'.

How do I fix this? It's random and I have no way of testing it, I've noticed this problem with str_for_num or multiple occasions, is there a way to fix it? (don't say get A7)
