[XForms] Lightbutton bug - Button causes app to crash.

Hi Dennis,

This behavior is normal for the code you provided. The app is not 
crashing but simply falling through the "fl_do_forms()" and ending 
properly. If a button has no call back then pressing the button will 
cause "fl_do_forms" to exit and proceed to the next step in your code.
To keep the program active, try;

while( 1 ) {   // TRUE
    fl_do_forms();
    }

If "fl_do_forms" exits it will simply be start again. To exit the 
program you need to setup a callback that calls "exit()".

Hope this helps,

Serge
