 This is not a stdlib problem. If you compile a debug version and run it
 in gdb, you see the obvious problem:
 
 In kkconsui-0.1/src/dialogbox.cc there is this function:
 
 bool dialogbox::open(int &menuitem, int &baritem, void **ref)
 
 in line 101 you'll find: if(ref) *ref = r;
 this is where the crash happens. The caller at this point is
 accountmanager.cc:155:
 
    fin = !db.open(n, b, (void **) &citem) || (b == 1);
 
 and looking some pages above you'll find that citem is of type int.
 
 Now sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*). Boom.
