writing strings in a tree

Hello,

when I run the macro

{
   gROOT->Reset();

   Char_t *string="test string";

   TFile f("tree-string.root", "RECREATE");
   TTree *t = new TTree("T", "an example");
   t->Branch("brString", string, "string/C", 1024);

   printf("mark 1\n");
   t->Fill();
   printf("mark 2\n");

   t->Print();
   f.Write();
   f.Close();
}

root (1.03/09 AIX 4.1) says

mark 1

 *** Break *** illegal instruction
 
What's wrong with the macro and/or how can a branch of a character string 
terminated by the 0 character be added to a tree? 

Best regards
Ludger Janauschek
