You are using an uninitialized pointer. You should use something as: post = g_new (char, some_size); before calling strcpy. BUT DON'T USE strcpy AT ALL, use strncpy to avoif buffer overflow problems. _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
