Subject: crash of extension on rb_str_new2

Hi, all
I am integrating a 3rd party API with ruby extension. The code is
roughly like this
void my_function()
{
        char p[256];
	...//assign the value of p in the api

	return rb_str_new2(p);//This cause a crash.
}
while if I change the last part a little bit as,
	VALUE str=rb_str_new2(p);
	return str;
This seems not crashing

It looks like more related to ruby GC? Can anyone explain on this? and
how to prevent this kind of crash?

Thanks!
