I found the problem which caused the "strangeness" I described in a previous
article.  Turns out I used an old Makefile (which I thought did everything
correctly) that linked in an old version of the Xtoolkit library (and
perhaps the order in which I linked in the libraries mattered too.)

I would never have found the stupid problem if I hadn't tried out the program
on another machine.  There, I manually entered the compile/link
commands - and sure enough, the program worked.  I guess it take experience
to associate an apparent run-time problem with the compile/link cycle of
development :-)

Thanks to those who suggested solutions/causes of the problem.
Sorry to have bothered the net with this one,

Tom
