AREA: XmtInputField
ONE-LINE SUMMARY: Initialize method fails to make copy of String =
resources.
FULL DESCRIPTION: (Describe the bug or enhancement request below.)
The XmtInputField Initialize method fails to make a local copy of the
"pattern" and "input" resources. However, the SetValues and Destroy=20
methods free this resource. This causes a crash on some platforms,
especially if the resource is initialized with a string constant.

DUPLICATE BY:
[If you can duplicate the bug, please send us simple code that will
allow us to duplicate it too; this will help the debugging process.]


WORKAROUND:
[If you've found a temporary workaround for the bug, please describe =
it.]


SUGGESTED FIX:=20
Initialize method should include:
   if ( iw->input_field.pattern ) {
       iw->input_field.pattern =3D XtNewString( iw->input_field.pattern =
);
   }
and similarly for iw->input_field.input

REPEAT BY:
[What you did to get the error; include test program or session
transcript if at all possible.]
