The "_exit(0)" solution sufficed to solve the problem. I shall 
try the pthread library in a next version

Experimental program, which I already used under Atari, 
Windows3.1, OS/2, Linux with the XForms Toolbox and now with the 
GTK Toolbox. The program controls a Roland JV 1080 and produces 
serial, aleatoric, microtonal, organized sound, which can be 
redirected via the soundcard to .wav-files, which can be written 
to CD. 

Thanks for your advice.
