Subject: BC++ and .sym file problem

I have a strangeish problem.  I have been using IDE with precompiled
includes turned on.  But as of yesterday, it doesn't work anymore,
not even for a simple test program

#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc, char*argv[])
{  printf("argc is %d\n", argc); }

If I delete the .sym file, then the first time I compile it, it
works fine.  The second and subsequent times compile and link OK,
but

    argc is 0

no matter what I type on the command line.  If I delete the .sym file,
and recompile and link, everything is OK again.

I hope someone else has seen this, or something like it, so I know I'm
not going crazy.
