Try the extern(Windows).  The difference is the call stack layout.  what 
could be happening is you are calling a function one way, but the function 
expects to be called a different way.  So it isn't reading the parameters 
like you think it is (in fact, it might be reading garbage).

You won't get a compiler or linker error because you are not linking the 
function in, you are dynamically loading it.
