Is this me or is it SGI or Sun?

This has bit me twice.  I am using the dgl on a Sun4.  After calling
a dglopen, and it returning a non-negative, I would call....

winopen( "Foo" );

In some programs (but not all) this would result in a segmentation
fault.  The work around is....

char buf[SOME_NUMBER];

sprintf( buf, "Foo" );
winopen( buf );
