I encountered this problem when I was implementing the Array of String support of X10.

In conv.c, AIFAddArrayElement(), it only treat character pointer (not string) as complex array element, i.e., element with different size.  So I ran into segmentation fault when we try to write those result to the buffer.

If I modify both AIFAddArrayElement() and EmptyArrayToAIF() in conv.c for checking of FDS_STRING type in their if statement, it seems fixed the problem.

Please see attached patch for more information.  Thanks.
