Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have a copy of VC++ 7, but I'd like to 
make it so that it can compile on it without changes.

I dug this up on Google:

So can you try disabling 'Buffer Security Check' as described, it must 
require support from the C runtime library, which we're not linking against 
to keep the program size small.

Let me know if that solves it, I'd like to incorporate the fix into the 
distribution. I'm not sure how, though: if I ship VC++ 7 project files then 
people with earlier compilers won't be able to compile it, any suggestions?

Thanks
