Never actually used a debugger. C is not my best language :)

Tried that and it ran all the way through and said it passed.

I was hoping this was something someone else had already resolved. It's
not critical, since I'm only testing boxbackup. I'll just try the next
version and see if it fixes itself.

I know you're not a Linux person, but you probably recognize that your
biggest "market" will be on Linux systems. If you don't have access to a
development system running Linux, perhaps someone on the list can give you
an account on one of their Linux devel boxes and you can do use that to
try out new versions, etc.

Thanks for all your help and sugggestions!
