  This is EXACTLY what will happen -- People will say: "Stupid glib is dumping
core -- (or should I say "crashing" since we are talking about windows?) and I
have no clue where in MY program I am messing up --

  Leave the DOS-Window, console window, DOS box alone !!! 

  What is the trade off -- Have a "DOS box" or find potential problems faster ?

  PS - If the user is scared of the "DOS box" -- Why wouldn't she be scared of
a log window as well ?
