Usage of 3.3 will result in much better VM performance, usage of gcc  
3.1 will result in poor performance. usage of gcc 2.9x is ok.

Yes, this is a issue in the platform specific headers I need to address  
for the mac, or get Ian to alter his includes. Issue is the clock  
routine call doesn't exist, but it's #ifdef to another clock routine on  
the mac in the platform specific headers, that doesn't happen when you  
don't include the "sq.h" and an implicit declare is done which resolves  
to a linking error.

Phil if you could stuff your entire project directory and send it to  
me. email me not the list, I doubt anyone wants to see 10-20MB of
source & object code. Then I'll look at why it doesn't work.

However first I'd suggest you run in debugging mode to see where the VM  
crashes in the gnu debugger. Might be a simple
explaination
