All this seems to be correct. Especially including the prefix 'IOR:' which
all seems to forget :-/

Can you test this without pgcs? I'm not sure, but a voice in my head tries
to tell me something about threading and pgcs - but I can't remember what is
was.

It seems to me that the 'abort' you are getting might be related to a threading
problem.

Does the other example-programs work correctly?
