I get a creepy feeling when I see the c_str()...
The value returned from it certainly doesn't stay valid
if you in anyway change the charactername string, including
allowing it to go out of scope.

On the other hand even if I understand how this would cause
corrupted output, it is not so obvious what would cause the
actual crash. That might depend on the malloc implementation
though.
