It is not clear from your message whether the above simple main is the 
only function in your source, and it generates a program that crashes, or 
if there is more code in your program.  If there is more, please post the 
other code, or at least the function where that line causing the crash 
resides.

The startup code is just another library function, so it might crash the 
program just like any other function (yours or otherwise).  It might be a 
library bug, or something in your program or in your hardware/software 
configuration that causes the startup code to crash.  Without more info, 
it is hard to tell.
