The memory pointed to would persist even if the variable wasn't
static, because it's been allocated from the heap. Saving it in
a static variable keeps a reference around so you can free it later
when the form is destroyed. I don't think that's even necessary
though, since you can just call CtlGetLabel() to get back the pointer.
