#3 is looking strange.

fname is 0x1, but should be some address and is_tempfile should be a
gboolean but seems to contain a pointer. One parameter is simply missing.

The code is looking ok (and is working good on my win32 machine and
lot's of others as well), so please try a "make clean" and rebuild
everything again. I would guess this should help.

If not, there might be a problem with your compiler ?!?
