    That was the constructor I was unsure about. How do I fix it?
    Instead of copying the pointer, do a deep copy of the string, either manually with a loop until the null character, or using strcpy() from <cstring>.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    so do you just mean:

    strcpy(nme, name);

    ?
