[Chicken-users] c-string arguments stack-allocated?

[John Cowan]

Is it correct that the NUL-terminated string passed to a foreign
function is stack-allocated, and therefore must be copied with
strdup() or similar if it is to be kept?  Attempts to call free()
on such a string seem to reliably crash Chicken.
