Hi Kris,

I didn't look at your example, but I think you shouldn't use -lm (and -lc).
libm.a/libc.a are symlinked to libcygwin.a and this is linked against every
program by default. I ran into troubles and stackdumps too, when linking
with -lm. I think there's more about this problem in the archives.

Karsten
