Im having trouble getting xwebster to work. It compiles fine,
but dumps core when you attempt to "define" a word.

The core dump occurs because XwTextCopyBuffer is returning
a nil (char *). (Line 90, contolpanel.c)

    word = (char *) XwTextCopyBuffer(word_input_Wgt);

Before I dig deeper into this problem, has anyone else seen it.
Did I make some sorta obvious mistake somewhere...

Relevent Data:
X11r3 on a Sun 3. Sun OS 4.0.1. 
Fixes 1-8 and Purdue 2.0 and 2.1. 
Server compiled with gcc 1.31.
Shared libX11.

Xw from contrib/widgets/Xhp + fixes for R3. Compiled with Sun cc.

Problem occurs with xwebster compiled with gcc 1.31 and Sun cc.
