I would try using 'strncpy(jogador, ler->player.name,20);'
I would also put some sort of string length check on what you add
to buft1. If you overwrite buft1, it may not crash, but it could walk
down the stack and crash all sorts of other things. Depending how your
compiler allocates things, there's a good chance that it simply allocates
memory in a simple sequential, back to back, order.. looking at the order
up there, jogador (and jogadores) immediately follow buft1. They'd be
likely to be corrupted by overruns first.
