The problem is what you expect.  You should not expect anything because
the behaviour is undefined.  It might print "(null)", clean your kitchen,
or go into a loop.  Use something like...

    printf ("variable has value:'%s'", test ? test : "(null)");
and
    g_message ("variable has value:'%s'", test ? test : "(null)");
