Stupid me! Just reread my answer and saw the error, but wasn't fast
enough to correct myself befor you did :)
You are right, the difference is in CFFI, in FOREIGN-STRING-ALLOC
Use CFFI 0.9.2 instead of CFFI included in cells-gtk tarball.
Also note that darcs version of CFFI is a new version, and is not very
compatible with 0.9.2
It may or it may not work with cells-gtk.

Sincerely yours,
