run fault when using read_config_store_data( ASN_OCTET_STR .... )

When I use read_config_store_data( ASN_OCTET_STR, ........ ) to store a table column entry to a persistent conf file I get a "run fault". 

writing ASN_UNSIGNED vars are all successful and I can store and read from the .conf file without a problem.

so, I assumed it must be the way I am passing my octet string.

unsigned char myString[255];
long myStringLen;

when debugging I see the following value prior to executing the read_config_store_data() line :

myString displays as : mystringvalue
myStringLen as : 13

but when I execute the following line, it goes pooooof with a run fault and a blank conf file.

cptr = read_config_store_data (ASN_OCTET_STR, cptr, &myString, (size_t*)(&myStringLen) );

&myString being the (u_char **) dataptr that the function read_config_store_data() ultimately acts upon.

anyone seen anything similar or know what is going wrong?

thanks
