Hello, Dave
I also had this problem when first writing palm apps. It is most likely
due to the way you are calling build-prc. The most reliable methods of
building a prc (for me) are using the old style or using a definition
file. I've found that using the new style sometimes doesn't produce the
right resources. For example, when I compiled your code, I get
mmc@beland:~$ m68k-palmos-gcc test.c -o test
mmc@beland:~$ build-prc test.prc "Test" "test" test
mmc@beland:~$ romeo -pD test.prc

This produces a working PRC which runs fine under POSE. Calling build-prc
with new-style args gets you:
mmc@beland:~$ build-prc -o test.prc -t "appl" -c "test" -n "Test" test
mmc@beland:~$ romeo -pD test.prc

Obviously, this doesn't look right. In fact, I get the same error as
you do when trying to run it, if POSE doesn't segfault first. Btw, I'm
using prc-tools 2.0-2. I'm not sure who the maintainer is, so I haven't
sent a bug report.
Good luck,
Monica
PS - For those of you wondering what romeo is, it's a really cool (in my
opinion) tool for disassembling/building ROMs, and with much more
flexibility and knowledge about PRCs than pilot-file. Full disclosure:
I'm one of the authors. We (Rob Johnson and I) put it up on SourceForge,
so please go ahead and try it if you want. Of course, for the purposes of
this exercise, pilot-file -l works just as well.
