I've got a program that is corrupting a global string pointer when it 
calls a function that uses it.  The function is in a seperate file from 
the call.  I adjusted it so that the call went through a dummy function, 
and it didn't corrupt at the dummy function, so the file's externals are 
declared correctly.  As well, the function doesn't corupt the string, and 
appears not to damage the pointer either.  It appears to simply not 
correctly access the pointer.  Any thoughts on how ti fix this?
