It looks like you are exceeding the allocated space for your answer
buffer... maximum of 256 bytes. All of the text appended to it by the
strcat() functions, together with the text which was originally in it due
to your initialization adds up to about 280 characters or so. The results
of such a buffer overrun are not easily predicted, but the symptoms you
describe would be possible. The solution to the problem is to increase
the size of your answer buffer (or else decrease the amount of text you
are putting into it).
