I have tried to insert a delay loop into the running code and made a syntax
error and the result was the same. The driver didn't start up, but the
window closed immediately without notice. Perhaps I could write into a log
file and see at which point he terminates? Can you tell me about the
driver's start up sequence?
Perhaps it's as simple as that: if the driver terminates under linux, the
error messages are still on the screen. But if it dies under Windows, the
window closes and the messages are gone. But I'm afraid of trying to compile
the source under windows. The documentation is very sparse.

Thanks for your help,
Albert
