I've encountered the same problem with BC++ 3.1 IDE version.  I was rather
confused since BC++ 3.0 worked just fine with the same program.  

The tech guys at Borland told me that BC++ 3.1 barfs on some compile-time
errors.  The tech I spoke to recommended running prj2mak to convert the .prj
file to a make file and use the commandline version bcc.exe instead.  Turns out
he was right.  The commandline compiler gave me some error messages before
bombing out with a GP Fault.  I fixed the errors in the source, and it works
just peachy.  Odd that 3.0 doesn't do that...

Try running the commandline version and see if that gets any farther during the
compile process.  Worked for me.
