bug? writing to stdout from c

9 Dec 2002

      I get a segmentation fault when writing to stdout or stderr inside a GPC 
module called from a C program.   I guess I have to set something 
manually that would be set automatically by the pascal main that isn't 
set by a c main, but I can't find any reference to this problem in the 
documentation.

----------------------  C main ---------------------
#include <stdio.h>
extern Bug();

main () {
   Bug();
}

---------------------- Pascal module ----------------

module bug;
uses GPC ;

procedure bug; External;

procedure bug;
var
   f : text;
begin
    rewrite(f,'cstring.txt');
    writeln(f,'writing to text file okay ');
    close(f);
    (* Either of the following commands will cause a segmentation fault *)
    writeln('writing to standard output not okay');
    writeln(StdErr,'writing to stderr not okay');
end;

end.
