Is it possible the default C library changed and you're still linking
against other libraries that were compiled the old way?  I wasted many
days trying to debug such a problem between libpng and zlib several
years ago (in fact, someone else solved it); it manifested as instant
crashes on startup, with no hint that different components wanted dif-
ferent DLLs.  (And that was plain C code.  C++ is probably worse...)
