Your string goes out of scope as soon as the function returns (you have created
it on the stack, local to the function) so anybody trying the read the returned
c_string later on will just get garbage... As you have noticed.
If this is what you want to do, you need to declare string outputStr as static,
so that it will persist after your function returns.
