I am using X11R3 on a 386 machine running Interactives version
of UNIX.  I have discovered a rather annoying problem.  I have
created a list widget and I need to change the contents rather
often.  I thought that it would be a good idea to free the
memory that held the previous list but when I do this it seems
to corrupt the memory tables and malloc crashes.  When should I
be worrying about freeing memory when using X11?  This isn't
mentioned in the documentation that I have.

Thanks in advance.
