Phil, You are copying the string to temp2 which has not been initialized and is a NULL pointer. You need to allocate memory of at least the same size as temp1 to temp2 and this will solve your problem.

I'm using libc6 2.0.7pre1-4 and strcpy gives me a segmentation error! I've attached my C test program for inspection(source only). I only do a few things. malloc memory for a variable(forgot a corresponding free) copy a string in this varible, copy this string to another string, print both on the screen. The exact error message is attached to the source. I will now check bug track.
