You probably should replace the above line with:
return str_dup("\\\0");
So that the user is always required to free the returned pointer.
Personally, I prefer functions that allocate and free their own memory to
functions that require you to free it, but this method will work if used
responsably.

Also, please note that although I wrote the string_to_store() function, I
don't really endorse this usage, since there is a more effective API already
available for translating database strings.
