I think you must have a non-ASCII character in there somewhere. I do
(almost) this without problems. Perhaps your read routine is pasting
the EOF (-1) character into the string by mistake?

How about testing your characters before you insert them? Plain ASCII
is in the range 0 to 0x7f, so try:

for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
 if ((unsigned char) text[i] > 0x7f)
   printf ("non-ASCII at index %d\n", i);
gtk_text_buffer_set_text (buffer, text, len);
