A friend sent me this code, saying it core-dumped on his machine.
On mine it just doesn't work.  I mucked with it a little to no avail.

Note that if you take out the concat and just do it with the first
Label it went into an infinite loop printing out null strings.  Got me.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <Xm/Xm.h>

void main(argc, argv)
     int argc;
     char *argv[];
{
 XmString           Label, s1, s2;
 XmStringContext   Context;
 char              *LabelChars;
 XmStringCharSet   CharSet;
 XmStringDirection Direction;
 Boolean           Separator;

 Label = XmStringCreateLtoR("Death", XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET);
 s1 = XmStringCreateLtoR("and Taxes", XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET);
 Label = XmStringConcat(Label, s1);
 if (XmStringInitContext(&Context, Label) == False)
 {
   printf("XmStringInitContext Failed\n");
   exit(0);
 }

 while (XmStringGetNextSegment(&Context, &LabelChars, &CharSet, &Direction, &Separator)) {
     printf("LabelChars='%s'\n", LabelChars);
 }

}

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
