You've created two pointers to a GtkTextIter, but they don't point to a valid GtkTextIter structure in memory. Here's what you probably meant to do...

void insertCustomer( GtkWidget  *customers )
{
        GtkTextBuffer   *specialBuffer;
        GtkTextView             *specialView;
        GtkTextIter             start;
        GtkTextIter             end;
        gchar*                  *specialText;

   specialView = lookup_widget(customers, "cust_instructions");
        specialBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(specialView);
        gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds(specialBuffer, &start, &end);
        specialText = gtk_text_buffer_get_text(specialBuffer, &start, &end, FALSE);
        g_print("Special Text: %s \n",specialText);
}

I have a GtkTextView in one of my application windows; mainly because a
GtkEntry is only single width and I want text wrapping and so forth.

Anyway, I'm trying to get the text from the GtkTextView but only end up
with 'null' when I try to print it. Here is a code snipped:

void insertCustomer( GtkWidget  *customers )
{
        GtkTextBuffer   *specialBuffer;
        GtkTextView             *specialView;
        GtkTextIter             *start;
        GtkTextIter             *end;
        gchar*                  *specialText;

   specialView = lookup_widget(customers, "cust_instructions");
        specialBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(specialView);
        gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds(specialBuffer, start, end);
        specialText = gtk_text_buffer_get_text(specialBuffer, start, end, FALSE);
        g_print("Special Text: %s \n",specialText);
}

I actually want to be able to insert that text into a database field but
it's not working.

Any help is appreciated.
