MSVC / Win95 is a bit picky about memory usage. It's possible (and likely)
that if this code runs on unix w/o problems that there is some small error
that is overwriting memory that was never noticed before.
Failing that try turning off optimizations, look at all compiler warnings
and so on.
From the output that you provided it doesn't appear that you are entering
the debugger when the code crashes. Try running circle as a project inside
the msvc IDE. You'll find it much easier to debug the program when it is
launched from the ide. Just add wsock32.lib to a standard console app, add
all the files and compile. When it crashes go to the view/debug/call stack
menu and you'll see what functions lead up to the problem in order.
Doubleclicking on them loads up the line of code.. super-simple. :-)
