-Background:
-  the compiler used is "dmdcc", a compiler for software developed for the 
-  AT&T 5620 (the blit).  The same DMD Application Development Uilities

-  When I compile this program with dmdcc and run it (using an existing file
-  "temp"), it exits with "Killed." and no other output.

Why in the world are you trying to use dmdcc to build anything
other than a downloadable DMD (5620) binary?  It is definitely
not intended for any other purpose.  If it worked before, it was
just an accident (I have to wonder about the way it was installed;
for example, where did getc() and stdout get defined?  They're
not DMD concepts).
