This sounds like some horrible invalid pointer thingy - I got this LOTS of
times a while ago while working with NASM & DJGPP - it means you have some
kinda twisterd weird pointer somewhere that you want to use before it is
allocated, or that you are drastically overwriting memory. The best way to
find one of these is to start isolating functions, dropping them from
compiling (i. e. use /* and */) and see when your programs strarts to work,
or at least exit to a prompt with an error or a stack trace.
