You do:  "crashes" could mean anything on Windows.  What does it mean to
you?  Is it dying inside MS's implementation of fgets(), in Python; is it a
NULL-pointer error, an illegal instruction; etc etc.  Try it under a debug
build, if you haven't already (single-stepping can be highly misleading if
you're doing that with the non-debug build).
