i've actually got STDERR redirected to a textfile, and the only thing that ever
gets sent to it is the "terminating program" message when I CTRL-C break the
program.

yeah, i always get the zero (0) value from the successful system call assigned
to my variable. but i dont get the printout to the screen from the system call
itself. and i know the C program is just printing to STDOUT through the
standard "printf" command.
whats worse is that i also have the C program writing to a file... the write
occurs when i run the C-executable alone, or when i call it via any Perl method
on a WinXP machine... but the file write ("fwritef") doesnt even occur when i
call the executable from any Perl method on a Win98 machine.
