Maybe the same mistake? Ie you'd expected a string but do
get a char pointer?

Watch out though what the documentation tells you

  "The string your handler receives is NOT nul-terminated.
   You have to use the length argument to deal with the end
   of the string. A single block of contiguous text free of
   markup may still result in a sequence of calls to this
   handler."

Ie there might be several calls to CharacterDataHandler
before you have gathered all data.
