This is an area where I'm very fuzzy about, trying stuff till it works and
never bothering to find out why it didn't work. The original poster said that
he had linked with CC, and not cc, if I'm not mistaken, which is why I threw
in the Iostream_init() suggestion.

I can vouch for the fact the it is not only a linking issue, since my app
core dumps without Iostream_init(), and I'm linking with CC.

I remember reading vaguely about observing caution when using stdio with
iostream. Maybe the real reason lies there. I'll try to track it down.
