Help please: xprim problem / win32 prograph

[Carl Sturtivant]

Hello, I can successfully use either the old symantec C/C++ compiler or
its free successor, the digital mars compiler to build a dll to extend
the functionality of the interpreter by adding an external primitive
(xprim).

However, the first time I run a program using such an xprim it works
perfectly until it terminates, and then there's a page fault! All
subsequent runs of the program in the interpreter work fine. If I
rebuild the dll with VC++ version 5, the page fault does not occur.

As windows prograph appears to have a lot to do with the symantec
compiler (the prograph compiler uses the symantec linker for example)
I wonder why this behavior occurs? Is there anything I can do? I have
built dlls before with both compilers for other purposes and not had any
problems at all.
