Almost certainly the error will be to do with how you are *calling*  
this function - in particular is the variable that you pass in for  
"canong" properly allocated including the necessary space declared  
for it?

If g has been changed, it suggests that you have accidentally got "g"  
and "canong" overlapping in memory..
