converting C-strings to NSString

Hello.

I have been working on this bug for a while, and I can't seem to figure
out what the problem is. I am first converting a C-string into NSString
using the following syntax:

NSString * scratch;
NSString * secondbuffer;
char buffer[2];

...
[secondbuffer init];

(in a loop)
[scratch initWithCString: buffer];
secondbuffer = [secondbuffer stringByAppendingString: scratch];

This is probably not the best way of doing it, however, it runs fine,
until I do:

NSTextView * results;

...

[results setString:secondbuffer];

Here it screws up, giving me the following error output:

2001-10-22 22:17:19.153 Nmap[2219] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object
0xcfd620 of class NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just

2001-10-22 22:17:19.155 Nmap[2219] *** Uncaught exception:
<NSInvalidArgumentException> *** -[NSTextView

As far as I can figure it, the secondbuffer string gets released? I have
no idea why. It is declared globally, i.e. outside any classes or
functions.

Please help, I am unsure what to do with this. I have been struggling
two whole days with this...
