The code excerpt is all right, you could even directly pass
sText->str to gtk_list_item_new_with_label().  So more
likely the GString gets corrupted somewhere before, in code
not shown.  Or the function gets wrong arguments.  Or it
actually crashes later in a consequence of ...

In addition:

  GtkList has has been deprecated since GTK+ 2.0 and should
  not be used in newly written code. Use GtkTreeView instead.
