if you define it the way you have, the string is actually stored inside
the code segment (that is, it is never dynamically allocated). if you
decompile your .prc file, you will find this string :)
you dont have to set the text ptr to NULL - although, it wont crash if
you do :)) if you are using a dynamic string instead of the static one,
from memory you need to set it to NULL - before you free it. i had some
small issues like this when dealign with it previously, and setting it
to NULL, and then freeing the pointer after.. solved it.
