Hello camlers!

I experience a strange problem with the following on windows 98.

I have the following files:

=============== dac.ml ===========================
let affiche dac =
  Printf.printf "%d\n" dac
==================================================

=========== ms_dac.h =============================
void ms_dac_init ();
int ms_dac_init_ok (void);
==================================================

=========== ms_dac.c =============================
#include "ms_dac.h"
#include <caml/callback.h>

static int ms_dac_init_done = 0;

void ms_dac_init (){
  char *vide = 0l;
  if (!ms_dac_init_done){
    caml_startup (&vide);
    ms_dac_init_done = 1;
  } 
}
int ms_dac_init_ok (void){
  return ms_dac_init_done;
}
==================================================

=========== ms_dac.def ===========================
EXPORTS
ms_dac_init
ms_dac_init_ok
==================================================

========== t.c ===================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include "ms_dac.h"

int main (){
  int ok;
  ok = ms_dac_init_ok();
  printf ("%d\n",ok);
  fflush(stdout);
  ms_dac_init();
  ok = ms_dac_init_ok();
  printf ("%d\n",ok);
  fflush(stdout);
  return 0;
}
==================================================

<-------------------   At this step I get an error from Windows

If I modify the function definition (that uses Printf.printf) in
the ml file, their is no more error.

let affiche dac =
print_int dac


I suspect a conflict, or a missing library, but I can't find
out 
what is going on exactly.

On linux, this gives the following with the original files:

$ ocamlc -v
The Objective Caml compiler, version 3.08.1
Standard library directory: /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08
$ ocamlopt -output-obj -o dac1.o dac.ml
$ ocamlopt -c ms_dac.c
$ gcc -shared -o libdac.so dac1.o ms_dac.o
-L/usr/lib/ocaml/3.08 -lasmrun
$ gcc -o t libdac.so t.c -lm -ldl
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./t

1
$ 

Thanks in advance
