When I run it, however, it exits prematurely with no output to stdout nor stderr, no corefile, nothing. But the exit status is always 53. I'm beginning to wonder if this is telling me something ;-) I realized later that I have linked against some DLLs that aren't in a standard place. I expected to get some kind of "cannot find DLL" error at startup, but perhaps "error 53" is the way windows tells me this? Thanks, -Steve P.S.
