I have been trying to figure out this problem for over 4 hours now, and I
cannot figure it out.  The nearest I can figure out is that maybe it has
something to do with the way that the program is trying to handle the char
type array, and beyond that I cannot get anywhere.  Even though I have not
gotten to working with pointers yet (that is next chapter for me) I thought
that I might try playing with that.  But not really knowing what I am doing,
by just skimming the chapter, I can't figure out it that is the right route.
