Okay - somewhere down here you should have a call to:
        mysql_free_result();

        I'm betting your problems first occur sometime after that.
Basically mysql frees the string in row[0] when you are finished with
the results.  This is the same data used in some_other_string and
somestring.  Easy fix is to use:
        somestring = g_strdup(some_other_string);

        You will need to call: 
                g_free(somestring);
when you are finished with somestring.  

        This should fix your bug.
