Ah.  The problem is that you are accessing the text widget's internal
representation of the text without taking into account that it is a
gapped text buffer (yes, that's a mouthful).

You should upgrade to 0.99.4 and use the gtk_editable_get_chars()
function to get chunks out of the text widget and write them to file.
I guess you don't want to just do a gtk_editable_get_chars() on all of
the text at once, because you would be duplicating the buffer in
effect.
