R freezes under Windows while loading package

Hi,

we build this R package using C++ code and under linux it works
fine. After installing:
- R version 2.2.1
- minGW gcc version 3.4.2
- perl version 5.8.8
it finally compiled under Windows as well. But, if we try to load
the library, R freezes without stressing the CPU.

Maybe someone had a similar problem and now has a simple solution
for it.

Presumably the problem is in the DLL.  Can you use dyn.load() to load
it manually?  If so, you can set a debug breakpoint on each entry
point, and see where things are going wrong.  Instructions for doing
C-level debugging under Windows are on my web page,

http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/debuggingR/

and more general-purpose instructions are in the Writing R Extensions 
manual in 2.3.0.
