In my (extremely painful) experience with RSXNTDJ, I've found it to be badly
executed, so these problems are bound to come up. I've emailed the RSXNTDJ
author, and I'm waiting for his reply. I'm really getting quite sick of
RSXNTDJ and I've started using mingw32 just because the headers are up to
date :-)

This is not to diss Rainer, I respect his effort. I just wish he'd see it
through and fix the problems.

All the time? I was under the impression that I confuse people more :-))
Just kidding. Glad I could help.
