The literal " " is a constant -- the operating system might allocate
that to a read-only region. Since g_strstrip() modifies the string
in-place, it isn't surprising that the program segfaults. If the
string you'd like to work with g_strstrip() is a constant, you might
consider using g_strdup() (and g_free() when you're done with it).
