	Do you print out the string that XtDialogGetValueString returns,
	or are you using it to set the label?   If the label string is in
	volatile memory, and you are using XtDialogGetValueString to get
	something to set the label, it could lead you to think that the 
	problem is with the value.

I actually just printed out the value (the original intention was to copy
it to a malloced string) and got the above mentioned problems.  
thx.
