Modify your code to:
-------------
GString *data;
gint count;

data = g_string_new ("");
count = fread(buffer, sizeof (gchar), 32, fp);

/* fread () reads is a block of binary data and not a NULL terminated string */
/* So you need to explicitly terminate it with NULL, if you want to use it as */
/* NULL terminated string */
buffer [count] = '\0';
..... ..
