Hello,

I am having problems with a Tcl/Tk application that I have ported
from UNIX to Windows 95. The application operates correctly but always
generates the following error message when the user exits the application.

ZZZ caused an invalid page fault in
module CW3215.DLL at 0137:004b3f66.
Registers:

I have found that the following trivial Tcl only program exhibits exactly
the same fault:

#include <tcl.h>

int
Tcl_AppInit(Tcl_Interp *interp)
{
        if (Tcl_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR)
                return TCL_ERROR;
        return TCL_OK;
}

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        Tcl_Main(argc, argv, Tcl_AppInit);
        return 0;
}

I created a tcl76.lib as follows:

dlltool --dllname tcl76.dll --def tcl76.def --output-lib tcl76.lib -k

The tcl76.def was obtained from the cdk-src.tgz archive, tcl76.dll was
taken from cdk.exe.

To compile I used:

gcc -c -I/gnuwin32/b18/include main.c
gcc  -o zzz.exe main.o  tcl76.lib

Environment is Windows 95, beta-18 cdk.exe with the following in
autoexec.bat:

set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=c:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;c:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin
set TCL_LIBRARY=c:/gnuwin32/b18/tcl/lib/tcl7.6
set GDBTK_LIBRARY=c:/gnuwin32/b18/share/gdbtcl

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Andrew
