  22. XrmParseCommand() only requires a pointer so that it can pass back a
  23. newly created database if the database you pass in contains NULL.
  24.  
  25. The database returned from XtDatabase() should not be NULL so
  26. XrmParseCommand() should not create a new one.
  27.  
  28. The following should work ok:
  29.  
  30. db = XtDatabase(display);
  31. XrmParseCommand(&db, ...);
