get_extra_descr difficulties

I cant seem to bend extra_descr to my will. Anyone see
what could be causing it to crash on this?


sprintf( extra_buf, "This item bears the seal of %s, the %s smith.",
ch->name,
ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_forge] <= 50 ? "apprentice" :
ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_forge] <= 75 ? "journeyman" :
ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_forge] == 100 ? "master" : "reknowned" );
item->name = STRALLOC( name_buf );
item->short_descr = STRALLOC( short_buf );
item->description = STRALLOC( long_buf );
get_extra_descr( STRALLOC( extra_buf ), item->first_extradesc);
if(VLD_STR(item->first_extradesc->keyword))
item->first_extradesc->keyword = STRALLOC(item->name);
item->last_extradesc = NULL;

Instead of STRALLOC, perhaps you want STRDUPE.

I got it. someone told me had to create it first.

EXTRA_DESCR_DATA *ed;

CREATE( ed, EXTRA_DESCR_DATA, 1 );
LINK( ed, item->first_extradesc, item->last_extradesc, next, prev );
ed->keyword = STRALLOC( item->name );
ed->description = STRALLOC( extra_buf );
