I don't think you need the copies.  This works just as well:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

main()
{
   char *bp, *tok;
   char *delim=" ", s1[256]="abc def ghi jkl mno.";

   bp = s1;   /* Now both point to the literal string to be tokenized */

   while ((tok = strtok(bp, delim)) != NULL)
   {
     bp = NULL;
     printf("tok = [%s]\n", tok);
   }
}
