This segfaults in latest CVS.

Hmmm! It's really too few lines of code to really deserve a lib. In turn,
what happens if a majority group decides to change the text of the license
provided by that library? You come back and change your program to keep
your original wanted license?

BTW, please, those throwing an eye on this message, take a look at the
latest khexedit in CVS-HEAD. It's marvelous. Espen did an excellent job.
Congrats, Espen.
