Subject: NXBeep() coredumping on me

Okay, I give up.  Why does this program coredump?

	#import <appkit/appkit.h>
	void main(void) { NXBeep(); }

The only even semi-plausible explanation that anyone around here has
offered is that NXBeep() requires that it be called inside an
Application Kit main loop (eg, [NXApp run]).  However, that seems like
a very strange requirement, and the manual doesn't even hint at it as
far as I can tell.

/NextLibrary/Documentation/NeXT/SysRefMan/23.CFunctions.wn is "the
manual" I refer to here.

Answers?  Or even comments or hints?
