nab uses the Fortran convention for passing arguments to subroutines: it
always passes arguments by reference, so they might be changed in the
underlying routine (wc_helix, in this case). You should print out "n" after
the first call, and see what is there.

If you want an empty string, use: n = ""; in place of n=NULL;
(although I guess the latter will work, but you are relying the details of how
the nab compiler implements strings.)
