Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

Well if strstr() doesn't find anything, then you're in doo-doo because it returns a NULL pointer.
Plus strncpy() doesn't always append a \0 to the string, so if you're assuming that as well, then that could be another problem.
Assuming of course that you've allocated the amount of space you say you have.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
