Linking with different runtime libraries is a particularly nasty issue on
Windows and may result in unexplainable freezes and crashes.

The problem is that I'm not able to give decent Windows support, since
I've not done any Windows development for a long time. It may be that adding
/mt to the compiler/linker options of the chicken build helps.

Sorry, I'm not much help here.
