Not here. In a debug build, it reliably crashes in the bowels of strcpy. My guess:

strcpy(buffer, hangulsyllables[L][0]); can't always work because the hangulsyllables array contains NULL pointers in some entries instead of empty strings. It blows up for me when L is pointing at the { 0, "YI", "S" }, entry. I'm proceeding on "a fix" to see whether s/0/""/g cures it.

Are you sure you are up-to-date? For that to happen, L must be 19. Now, L is SIndex / NCount, where NCount is 588. So SIndex must be atleast (588*19 =) 11172 (= SCount). However, SIndex is code-SBase, so code must be atleast SBase+SCount. In that case, the entire if statement should not be executed, because the if statement reads

if (SBase <= code && code < SBase+SCount) {

It so happens that the fields which are NULL are never accessed.
