I have EXACTLY the same problem with a C (not C++) program on HPUX 11
using HP's own compiler (not GCC). This is on code I originally wrote
for Xenix-286 in 1980... something that's been ported to SVR0-68000,
SVR2-x86, Solaris-Sparc, Solaris-X86, OpenVMS-VAX, OpenVMS-Alpha, SCO,
OSF1^WDigital UNIX^W^WTru64, FreeBSD, and Linux.

If I put any debugging code, even 'fprintf(stderr, "");', it works,
otherwise it terminates (normally, exit(0)) without producing output.
