Actually what's getting you is _main.c, not the ToolWindow code in c.o.
The standard _main.c always opens a window when it's started from workbench,
so that stdio routines have some place to talk to.  To get rid of this,
recompile _main.c with -dTINY and the appropriate int size, and link it in
after c.o, so yours gets used and not the copy in lc.lib.  Note, however,
that if you do this, stdin, stdout and stderr will all be completely
undefined, and any io to any of them from your "workbench" process will
crash your amiga.
