I hate messages like this.

Could you please describe "bombs and dies"?  Does this mean that graphic
bombs are displayed on your screen and finally the power goes out?  I think
it might be a hardware problem if these are the symptoms.  Is 'ngdata.c'
really a program, or just a C source file?
#else
Could you give us the error message and the line number, perhaps with the
few lines of source around the problem, to help someone diagnose this better?

It's not how many mistakes you make, its how quickly you recover from them.
