I have kind of figured the problem out..
I made a small test program:
-----------
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void) {

  cout << "Press Return" << endl;
  cin.get();
  clrscr();
  cout << "Screen cleared" << endl;

  return 0;
}
-----------

When I compiled from Rhide (as I always do) the problem occured.
Compiling it myself works. I guess rhide somehow
doesn't link with the correct libraries (libc also).

Thanks a
