I'm a bit confused about FrmCopyLabel():
I used to think, FrmCopyLabel() works similar to StrCopy() - copying the data from
source to destination and overwrite's it.
That's why the new string must not be longer than the initial string. In this case,
there would be no reason, why the source string has to exist as long as the label. And
the Palm OS reference manual doesn't say so either.
