 Just a hint which may have to do with this. Looks like SDL introduces its own 
entry point, but it's WinMain() instead of main(). In this case standard CRT 
setup is omitted. But it is very easy to recover in this case. Just call:

freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stderr);

 This performs the necessary setup and relinks CRT's stderr with Windows 
console stream. It is a well known hack.
