no one expects you to debug xvid if you have limite access to windows.
i'll have a look at the code.

gcc and msvc use different heap memory management.
printf possibly does something to/with the memory management structs.

from what i can tell (i havent looked into it much), its caused by
the vlc_init code messing up the msvc memory management.

xvidcore/xvid_stat compiles and works under djgpp-dos (gcc 3.03).
