And the problem is solved. Perhaps my pains can be used for something good
anyway. Perhaps the people who suggested their beautiful strcat-functions
can have (at least the prettiest one) them included in a future release.

And if you're wondering how the problem was solved: My boss came in, took
one look at the code, and said "Hey, what if you do it like this instead?".
It turned out that the strings were never properly deallocated. Some sort of
company secret apparently. :)

Thank you everyone who helped out. The strcat function works like a charm.
Unfortunately, the memory leak is still there. I'm beginning to think it
might be that the strings are never deallocated at all. I'm going to have • to
check so that the free-function is working properly when I'm using it. Has
anyone else had any problems with that function?

You can't do this:

char *d2 = *dest;

You probably meant char *d2 = dest; like the original author wrote.

Here also:

return *dest;

You probably meant return dest; like the original author wrote.
