This app could be built flawlessly using a commercial system. With RSXNTDJ however, I used its debugger to locate the source of the problem, a SIGSEGV, which occurred prior to the call to main(). So at least the debugger that comes with RSXNTDJ will be of some assistance in sorting out its problems, for those who have the time.
