I'm curious as to what operating system and compiler you are using. I tried briefly to reproduce this under Windows 2000 with MSVC 7.1 and could not.
I use Win98SE, and I have spotted the problem first in the binary I downloaded from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/, so I compiled the source for myself (using MSVC6) and seeked the cause.
