Just a guess, but since temp_txt is local, and you say you can only get it
to happen after a certain series of events, perhaps you're munging your
stack somewhere before this call? If Gremlins can produce it, I'd run the
app in the debugger, then start Gremlins loose, then when it crahses, verify
that temp_txt is valid.
