Because you're overrunning the array.  "int bit[63][6]" means that the
first index must be between 0 and 62 inclusive, and the second is
between 0 and 5, inclusive.  I don't know why Visual C complains, but
the reason djgpp doesn't is because it trusts you.  It assumes you know
what you're doing, and lets you do it uninhibited.
