I should mention, the program throws a SIGSEGV or SIGILL if I execute
the program my normal way (with debug symbols stripped out with -s)
and only 1 argument is partially processed and dies as soon as it hits
the library.
with -g, works perfect.
apparently the code output can't make up its mind what error it wants
to throw, and it's not being consistent given the same inputs each
time.


the library as I speak of is not a .a file.  it is simply a .cpp
and .h file which I use in other programs on multiple compilers and
platforms.

I have been having no end of trouble with strcpy and strcat.  they
don't work.  I have to use sprintf instead with djgpp (strcpy and
strcat work fine on mingw-w64 4.7.0).  I might investigate further to
see what exactly is going on.
something is broken here.
