That sizeof is probably not what you want...it's the value 4, always.

Did you want, perhaps:

    i = strlen (argv [1]);
    memset(k,' ',sizeof(k));
    memcpy (k,argv[1],i);                /*  <=== note the difference!*/

Having done that, find that a length of 0 still doesn't work for
me.  If I change the FFINDBYKEY to be:

    FFINDBYKEY(ksm,k,0,i,0);

then it works.
