In the current release of FXRuby, when you type:

	h = FXHiliteStyle.new

it calls the default constructor the the C++ struct:

	FXHiliteStyle *h = new FXHiliteStyle();

Now, that struct doesn't actually have a constructor defined, and so  
it's possible that some compilers will (be default) initialize h- 
 >style to zero while other compilers will leave that data in an  
undefined state. What I will probably do to fix it is just add some  
code that explicitly initializes the struct's values, so that we won't  
be subject to the whims of a particular C++ compiler.
