What version of Xaw are you using? R4 or R3 (please oh please don't say R1 or R2 :-) I think that SetValues in R3 may have been doing a ptr comparision so that if you are using the same buffer you lose. I thought I fixed this in R4 but it might have slipped by me. To work around it you can allocate the string with XtNewString() and then free it after the SetValues() call. Yea, I know it's ugly. If this is still ocurring in R4 then please send a bug report to xbugs@expo using the form supplied in `doc/bugs/bug-report'. Chris D.
