Maybe it's crashing at the end when the interpreter is deleted and Tcl 
is in turn deleting its local storage? I believe someone else has already 
mentioned the problem with using Borland C++ DLLs with other compilers 
due to the memory allocation routines that are different. You have to use 
TCL_VOLATILE or TCL_STATIC for all objects that are passed to Tcl_* 
routines to avoid the conflict.

I'd be very interested in how you've gotten as far as you have. I know I
didn't come close to actually building the .EXE. Are you using include
files that didn't come with gnu-win32 b17? Would be great if you could
outline what you've done.

Thanks in advance,
