[SDL] SDL_Quit() called inside a DLL using MINGW gives page fault on W98?

[Stefan Viljoen]

Hi all

I recently developed a small program in Rh9 usind SDL 1.2.6 that worked 
correctly. Compiled in W98 using MINGW as an .EXE it also runs correctly.

However, compiling the program as a DLL and then calling the DLL works, but on 
executing an exit(); inside the DLL code it always aborts with a page fault. 
I traced the problem to the atexit(sdl_quit) line. I removed this and the 
program now runs without a page fault.

My question: Is it a known occurrence that doing sdl_quit() inside a DLL under 
Windows causes a page fault? Or do I have a memory leak somewhere that does 
not emerge in Linux but only on Windows? If I have a memory leak or 
something, why does the code, ran inside an EXE, NOT cause a page fault?

Or is this a "feature" of a DLL, i. e. at_exit() code is not allowed inside 
it?

Thanks!
