I can only add to your frustration: your program works for me as well.

Something is terribly wrong with your program/library/setup: this
traceback shows that `fclose' called `remove'.  But that should only
happen if the _IORMONCL (remove-on-close) bit is set in the FILE
structure, which normally should only be used with temporary files,
and is not meant for anything but library functions such as `tmpfile'.  
If this bit is set, `fclose' expects the name of the file to be stored 
in the FILE structure.  In your case, the file name is NULL, and I
assume that's why the program crashes.

You need to find out how does that bit get set in the first place.
One possibility is that you somehow use wrong header files (from
MSVC?) where stdio.h has a different definition of the FILE struct.
Another possibility is that your library is messed up.

(Btw, why do you still use v2.01?  It's not maintained anymore, and
most people would not be able to try to reproduce your problems if they 
are specific to v2.01.  I suggest to upgrade to v2.02.  I did verify 
that your programs works with v2.01 in this case, though.)
