I've traced it with the VC++ debugger and it crasched on ExitProcess()
after the printf.
but the really amazing thing is that debugging it another time let me no crash.
again and it crashed in the CRT I/O routines.

I can't find the exact point of failure.
it seems to me that the effect is in some way random... Infact not always
the machine restart or crash, sometime it closes the application succesfully.

I'll debug it better tomorrow.

bye
