Goofy problem

I have a program that will run fine under gdb but fails to even start when
executed at a shell prompt. It's the same executable. I don't even get the
initial "Welcome" printf message which is line 1 after main().

Again, this works fine if I gdb executablename and run it.

Any ideas as I'm fresh out at the moment.

TIA

The name for executable is "test"?

Doh! It's not but was loading a diff executable thanks to "which".

I can't believe I didn't think that through...

Thanks much
