g_hash_insert/g_hash_lookup woes

[tile primenet com]

After initializing a GHashTable variable, I try to insert a key/value pair
which are gchar pointers using g_hash_insert ().  It seems to insert fine, but
when I try to look the value up using _hash_lookup (), I get NULL.  I tried
g_strdup'ing the pointers; it still doesn't work.  It _does_ work when I put in
constant strings.  Can anyone explain why this happens and how I can fix it?
