In cases such as these, always check to make sure that you are allocating
memory for data storage, and that you are not inadvertantly freeing it.
In this case, you haven't yet done a  malloc, so c, the pointer to a char
points to some random location in memory which may or may not be in use.

     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you sure that scrollbox allocates string storage ?  Please post the
code for this procedure.
Otherwise, try allocating memory for c with malloc and see if that
is what the problem was.
