Note: I didn't try to undertand what the code is intended
to do, just commenting on some obvious flaws.

Better C style would've been:

    cad1=malloc(1024);


Casting malloc()'s return value is nonsense and potentially dangerous,
sizeof(char) is always guaranteed to equal 1.

Now you assigned to cad2 and res and lost your only reference
to your meticulously allocated buffers! (More bogus casts, BTW.)

[...]

And then you tried to free something that was not a pointer value
returned by any of the *alloc() functions:

As I said, I didn't try to guess the intention - if you want to
work in-place an the string or if you're actually looking for strcpy().
