It core dumped when I compiled it too. But I think I have a solution. I found
that it is core dumping because of line 77 of main.c. 

It was dying in strcpy() on line 77:

		strcpy(tetrisenv, getenv("TETRIS"));

because the optional 'TETRIS' environment variable wasn't defined. When
I defined it (ie 'setenv TETRIS'), it seemed to run fine.

To fix this problem change line 74 in main.c from

	if(argc<2 && getenv("TETRIS") == NULL) {
		i=0, j=0, k=0;
		
to

	if(argc<2 && getenv("TETRIS") != NULL) {
		i=0, j=0, k=0;
		
Hopefully this should remedy the problem (Or at least it did with the
version I have).
