Test succeeded because after program crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (as
our test program correctly did) we still get exit code 0. Here is the patch
that tries a workaround - it creates temporary file and tests for it after
program run. Any system without creat() ? I did not want to blindly check for
Cygwin because ncurses does not have this problem.
Tomislav, Mike - could you test it? It is O.K. here on both Unix and Cygwin
with the current unmodified CVS (I just got Sven's patch, so it is not current
anymore :-)
