Hmpf.

I had a similar problem with junkbuster (www.junkbusters.com).  The provided
exe file for windows did not seem to want to read the config files from the
program directory when started as a NT service (using servany).  So, I
decided to recompile it as a "Unix" program using cygwin.  I ended up having
to comment out all the lines that wrote to the log file in order to get past
all of the stack exceptions.  Something is up with this, as I'm pretty sure
that the source was correct as it comes from junkbusters.  So either
Jonathan and the guys at Junkbusters have the same incorrect programming
habits (that happen to compile and run fine on Unix), both he and I have the
same mis-configuration, or something's up with cygwin...
