One thing that changed from 3.2 to 3.3 was that
if you had "winopen();" in your program, it would
die under 3.3.  Seems 3.3 prefers that you use 
"winopen("");" instead.  One thing you definitely 
want to check is to make sure that your winopen
has either a name like winopen("Strange problem");
or else is called like winopen("");
