How is fileselected declared? If as char *fileselected, then you have to
allocate memory to fileselected first. It will work with a short string
like 1234, but not if the string is longer than 4 bytes or so. Remember
*fileselection is just a pointer - it doesn't have space yet. (you could
use strdup, which _does_ allocate memory -> fileselected = strdup(...)
If defined as char fileselected[100] (or so) you might be exceeding
the [100] limit.
