I thought it would be a good idea to set the #DEBUG preprocessor symbol 
in that file to 1. Apparently it wasn't.  I get the ugliest crashes at 
startup of the program, apparently based on a segmentation fault (at 
least that's what GDB says) in the beginning of the program, before any 
output is sent to the screen, resulting in blue screens etc in win98. I 
guess the debugging code isn't meant to run under windows? Or is it 
really indicating something about my program being very wrong?
In case it would matter, the int _crt0_startup_flags =  
_CRT0_FLAG_FILL_SBRK_MEMORY |  _CRT0_FLAG_FILL_DEADBEEF; is still set.
