Before double clicking to open a DLOG resource, select one and copy it to 
the clipboard. This is a notorious bug in ResEdit.

I have an app that I am working on right now that trashes my str# rsrc. 
when I try to write to it. It's definitely something in my code when 
writing to the rsrc. because I've seen this before. When you write to or 
read them (pretty simple) correctly rsrcs seem to work fine.

Just a couple of ideas.
