I haven't tried the code yet (I will, though) but what immediately strikes me is that
you don't lock the STR resource before you
call printf(). Since printf() calls an assortment of routines
that are in the class of "routines that may move or purge memory",
it's likely that your string is moving away on you.

Try this bit of code and see what happens:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <MacTypes.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <pascal.h>
#define StringID 30292

main()                   /* This code works as written. */
        {
        char **myText;

        myText = (char **)GetString(StringID);
	HLock((Handle)(myText));
	        PtoCstr(*myText);
/* sorry about that indent ^^ */
	printf("%s\n", *myText);
	ExitToShell();
	}

As I said, I'll try the code and if I come across anything else I'll post.
