clist mystery no longer a mystery

[Mike <maddoc en com>]

Hello, 

I have found the problem and thought I would pass it along in case someone 
does the same thing in the future.

Even though I was only using 2 columns in the clist I had created it with 3 
and kept one of them hidden. So in the future if I wanted to use it another 
column it would be easy to add. However I was only loaded text into two of 
the columns. Apparently if you are using gtk+ 1.2.8 on Linux you can get away 
with it, but with gtk+ 1.2.6 under Solaris you will get a nice core file. So 
I added one line of code to load a blank string into the hidden column and 
all is well.

But the good news is I have also taken your advice and rewrote the routine 
with the glib string functions, the code is much nicer now and I shaved about 
20 lines of code.

Thanks, 
Mike
