I believe that PasToZero does allocate the space for the handle and the
string for returnValue.  Your problem might be with the
char resultStr[80];
declaration.  Doesn't the space allocated for the string itself go away
when your XCMD returns?  Rather than calling PasToZero, though, you could
allocate the space for the string on the heap yourself.
