    Oops.  Yes, you do need to assign the *h to point to a real storage
area.  My mistake.  Everybody makes them sometime.  Thanks for the kind
clarification, unlike someone who posted an unnecessary flame.  As I said
earlier, it also might help to make sure that you strcat a '\0' just to
insure that the string is properly defined.  I have had problems like that
before and this solved it.
