... Sorry hit on the send button to quickly ...

Why does the run when I use the 3rd party lib directly linked into
the program? Then all the runtime libs should be loaded also. The
only difference I can see is that the cygwin1.dll is loaded after
all the other stuff. Could that be a reason or is it only working
by accident? Following some gdb output for both ways:

--------------------------------------

While I was writing that, I received Mumit's mail saying:

"There are times when it will work, and there are times when
 it won't."

This is very disappointing as I have no chance of not using that
3rd party lib. I will have to contact the vendor and check it out.
If I have no luck, then I will have to do a native port :(((((((

Wish me luck
Tommy
