gtk_init wierdness

[katre <katre mousetrap ml org>]

I am writing a gtk program.  (I am using gtk 1.0.6)  Whenever I remove the
"#ifdef ... #endif" from the below, the program crashes with the output,
"Starting gtk...

Error: *** Sigsegv caught."

With the #ifdef in to remove the code, it works fine.  Both ways, the program
compiles with no problems.  What could be going on?
I've commented out all code that actually calls the function, and it looks
correct.  I just don't get it.

   fclose(story_file_p);

   return SUCCESS;
