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
