John,
I appreciate the reply! Unfortunately, the real problem was that I was
being a moron. I wrote up that example incorrectly, but to compound the
problem, I was using the xview library from FreeBSD 2.2.1 instead of upgrading
to the one from the ports. I recompiled from ports this morning and everything
was groovy. Sorry for putting you through this pointless exercise. I also
wish to apologize to everyone else for the wasted bandwidth.
Thanks again,
Ed
