pointer help

For some reason if i include this code my program crashes all its doing is creating an array of pointers then linking the pointers to another array. Wierd thing is if the level is only 5 columns along it works but anymore than that it crashes.
The numbers look fine so i dont think its the text file has to be something im not aware of damn my noobness.
thx alot for any help.

Wtf if i add a printf in the for loop it all works arrrghhh.... lol
for(i=0; i < g->num_lvltiles; i++)
{
fscanf(fp, "%d ", &temp_id);
g->Level = g->tiles_data[temp_id];
g->Level.id = temp_id;
printf("huh %d \n", i); //WHAT THE HELL
}
anyone know why its being so strange?
for(i=0; i < g->num_lvltiles; i++)
{
fscanf(fp, "%d ", &temp_id);
g->Level = g->tiles_data[temp_id];
g->Level.id = temp_id;
printf("huh %d \n", i); //WHAT THE HELL
}

*** Source Snippet Removed ***
I am sure it is this line right here;
g->Level = (Tile*)malloc(g->num_lvltiles * sizeof(Tile*));
here you are allocating memory for a tile pointer but you need to get memory that is the sizeof the tile struct times num_lvltiles not the size of a pointer times num_lvltiles so use sizeof(Tile) instead of sizeof(Tile*)

Thx m8 how wierd is that tho it lets you off with writing 5 values to nothing and you can use them with a good old printf lol.

I would also like to point out another problem with this code, though, it's not the real problem:
In C, Casting the return value from malloc is unnecessary. It is pre-ANSI. it was used before the void* generic pointer type was made standard to silence warnings and whatnot but it is no longer needed.
