How many time is your function called? Odds are your bug is elsewhere
anyway, some kind of memory corruption, double check your memory
allocations, there's a least one bug in your code above: sizeof(temp_str) is
4 or 8 not STRING_BUFFER, maybe you did the same mistake elsewhere and smashed the stack, heap, whatever.
