actually it still will crash :)

beetle% cat 5.c
#include <string.h>

int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
         char c[] = "whats:your:name:buddy?";
         strsep((char **) &c, ":");
         return (0);
}

beetle% gcc -Wall -ggdb 5.c
beetle% ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

so something like this

#include <string.h>

int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
         char c[] = "whats:your:name:buddy?", *s = c;
         strsep((char **) &s, ":");
         return (0);
}

will work too.
