The printf call is wrong; the string is not terminated. You probably meant
to put a `n' between `\' and `"'.

Also, your main() function has no specified return type, so it defaults to
int; yet you aren't returning a value. Put `return 0;' at the end of the
function.

: and my command line is:

: gcc -o junk.exe junk.c

: When I run junk.exe, my machine locks up. What's wrong here?

I'm surprised junk.exe exists. Make the above corrections, then try this:

redir -o output.txt -eo gcc -v -o junk.exe junk.c

Post the file `output.txt' that this creates, it will make diagnosing your
problem easier.
