entry problem

[mailaxe 263 net]

Good afternoon!

I have some questions - they may not be considered as gtk problems. 
When I use entry in a dialog box for user to input something,I can
get the text out by calling gtk_entry_get_text(). And there is another
function can be called according to the reference gtk_editable_get_
chars(). The difference between these two functions is that one
should never be released using g_free(), but the other can. I am 
using the first one as follow:

gchar *buf;

buf = gtk_entry_get_text();

So, here comes my question:
1. whether or not it is required that I allocate some memory to "buf" 
using g_malloc().
2. If g_malloc() is required, then can I release "buf" using g_free();
3. I don't know where is my bug, my program results in "CORE DUMPED" 
from time to time.

thanks!
