win32lib problem

Hi,

In the course of some idle coding in Judith's IDE, I used the following line:

s1=getRichText(RichEdit6,{0,0})

which caused a machine-level exception in this:

global procedure free(machine_addr a) 
-- free the memory at address a 
    machine_proc(M_FREE, a) 
end procedure 

I tried changing the line to:

s1=getRichText(RichEdit6,-1)

and my XP computer locked up after the error was printed to the screen, dying
a horrible death (quite sad).

To make the matter more confusing, I have since tried it on other text and it
sometimes extracted the first character only of the text when it didn't
error out.

The ordinary getText() will not work on the RichEdit, so... Ideas?
