	I once had a similarly mysterious experience with TurboC.  Are you
using any static or global arrays inside valid_str()?  If so, you may be
writing past the array bounds, and if by chance fld is stored immediately
after the array, it will be overwritten during the valid_str() call.  If
the situation I have described does not exist, I wish you luck.
