If what I typed is correct, it should work, because I'm assigning
the data ("NOTHING IS TWO", et al.)to a pointer (mybuf).
and the data is stored in memory like that, so there should be no need
for str_dup, especially if you are just going to forget to free() it
anyway :-P
If i'm not correct in my assumption, please feel free to correct me.
Keep in mind that flames are not necessary.
