Just trying to get started using C++BuilderX PE, and I can't even get 
the simplest app out there short of Hello World working.

#include <iostream>
#include "tchar.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
   for (int i=1; i<argc; ++i) {
     std::cout << argv[i] << _T(" Length: ") << _tcslen(argv[i])
       << std::endl;
   }
   return 0;
}

I add the -tWU flag to BCC32 and change c0x32.obj to c0x32w.obj in the 
linker line, and it compiles just fine, but when I run it, it fails 
during startup with an access violation in 
ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection at 7C918FEA. (ie. before ever reaching 
my code.) It works as you would expect if I compile and run it as a 
non-Unicode app. Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong? There 
seems to be a dearth of documentation on this, and I'm sure those of you 
making real applications with this IDE must be able to get something 
like this working.
