OK, now that I have what looks like a working package with gcc 3.3.3, I
compiled with gcc 3.4.4.  It segfaults and dumps core at startup.  Um, it is
linked with unrecompiled lapack dll's (they were also compiled with gcc 3.3.3).
 But that per se shouldn't be an issue, I don't think.

So, how can I help you?  Use gdb in some fashion?  The binary is, of course,
stripped.
