It seems that the RSXNTDJ linker doesn't link in the feof function, 
expecting it to be in some DLL, or maybe just because of a bug.  This 
version of linker doesn't print any warning when some functions are 
missing because it assumes it will be found in some DLL at run time.  
Unresolved externals are recorded as zeroes in the executable, and then 
the program crashes when it tries to call the zero address.
