I finally managed to track down the problem this morning.  The program is
bombing out during a read() call due to a variable name clash with one used
in libpc.a.  The compiler seems to pick and choose between which instance of
the variable it's going to use.  For instance, sizeof(window) returns the
correct value, but read(fd, window, n) or memset(window, c, n) produces a
segmentation fault as it's filling up the libpc.a variable.

Thanks to those who offered help, sorry to those I've annoyed.

	Mark.
