I probably should have seen this sooner, but the incomplete source
didn't help: you are declaring a large automatic array, and it
overflows the run-time stack.  matrix[res_x][res_y] is declared int,
so each element takes 4 bytes.  640*480*4 is *way* more than 512K
bytes, the size of the run-time stack allocated by the startup code.

Section 15.9 of the FAQ describes the two ways you can use to enlarge
the stack.  But I suggest to make your matrix either a static array 
(outside of any function) or to allocate it at run time by a call to 
malloc.
