g_string and core dumps

[Charles Puffer <cpuffer shore net>]

I have been working on a gtk/gnome app and have run into a problem.
I would like to use the g_string_* functions of glib but as soon as I do
anything more than a null string my application crashes. Not right away
but
a few lines later when I go to create my primary widgit.

Has anyone seen this before?
I will post more info like source or outputs if there is anyone
interested in
helping me. For now I am going to use 'C' str* functions.
