Call frame traceback is a list of the functions that
are running when a program crashes. Try running
C:\MYSTUFF>symify program.exe
(replace program.exe with your exe's name)
immediately after the program crashes.
That will give you the path to where the program crashed.
We on c.o.m.d call this "symified crash output."

To copy this into a Windows window, use the dotted
rectangle tool (just below the terminal's titlebar) to drag
across the output, then press Enter. Then paste into
your newsreader.
But in this case, if it's crashing upon exit, your problem
may be a flub-up with a pointer.
