Sorry about the example, which was flawed in more ways than I saw.  It's
rather obvious that I don't really understand this stuff, but I'm
learning ;)

Here's the corrected version with the changes you specify:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

const char *line1 = "This is line one.";
const char *line2 = "This is line two.";
const char *line3 = "This is line three.";
const char *line4 = "This is line four.";

char *array[4];

void printit();

int main(void)
{
        int i;

printf("\nThis is the individual print-outs:\n");

array[0] = malloc(sizeof strlen(line1)+1);
        strcpy(array[0], line1);
        printf("array[0] is: %s\n", array[0]);

array[1] = malloc(sizeof strlen(line2)+1);
        strcpy(array[1], line2);
        printf("array[1] is: %s\n", array[1]);

array[2] = malloc(sizeof strlen(line3)+1);
        strcpy(array[2], line3);
        printf("array[2] is: %s\n", array[2]);

array[3] = malloc(sizeof strlen(line4)+1);
        strcpy(array[3], line4);
        printf("array[3] is: %s\n", array[3]);

printf("\nThis is the main body print loop:\n");
        for (i=0; i<4; ++i)
                printf("array[%d] is %s\n", i, array[i]);

printit();

for (i=0; i<4; ++i)
                free(array[i]);

return 0;
}

void printit() {

int i;

printf("\nThis is the 'printit()' function print loop:\n");

for(i=0; i<4; ++i)
                printf("array[%d] is: %s\n", i, array[i]);
}

This is the result:

This is the individual print-outs:
array[0] is: This is line one.
array[1] is: This is line two.
array[2] is: This is line three.
array[3] is: This is line four.

This is the main body print loop:
array[0] is This is line
array[1] is This is line
array[2] is This is line
array[3] is This is line four.

This is the 'printit()' function print loop:
array[0] is: This is line
array[1] is: This is line
array[2] is: This is line
array[3] is: This is line four.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
