Ah, that's easy. The problem is, as you were told, that the expression
values.toAscii().constData() contains the creation of a QByteArray
object that contains the ascii version. As this object (returned by
toAscii(), consumed as "this" by constData() ) is not bound to any
variable, it gets destroyed as soon as the compiler finishes evalution
of "values.toAscii().constData()", which leaves you with a dangling
pointer. Create a named QByteArray instead. It will live until it gets
out of scope, like in

  QByteArray arr = values.toAscii();
  const char * psz_values = arr.constData();

(not compile tested, but you get the idea)
