The problem here is that some C++ implementations (UNIX ones at least
-- I haven't used others, and you didn't say what you were using)
require that `main' be compiled as C++ code, in order for constructors
for static objects to be run.

If you can't move this `main' routine into a C++ file, rename it to
`main2' or something, and add a new `main' routine in a C++ file which
simply calls `main2'.
