	That leaks - the 'dup' allocates memory for it's return value; the
function doesn't have access to the value that it's return value is
assigned to - so the above could never work.

	So; when you added the string typedef it should have generated an
_alloc method in the header. Poke in the IDL compiler generated header,
I forget it's name - search for the typename.
