I am beginning game development, and am very frustrated to have found a bug
in the RKM example program "joy.c" which demonstrates how, or how not which
may be the case, to use the gameport.device.  When "joy" is executed, it 
works fine.  But, when I launch it with a "run," play with it for a while,
and exit, a subsequent call to the program without "run" will crash my
Amiga.  This is disturbing, and the code looks fine to me so far.  Does
anyone have any ideas?  How about the CreateStdIO()?  Is that a funky call?
Should it be converted to CreateExtIO()?

Thanks!
