I take it that everything works smoothly from the command line? (it's
not exit(1)ing with a left over "only works will integer maps" error?)

... BTW these close-without-catch still need to be fixed:

something to try:

in eq.c and log.c (or wherever that code now lives since Glynn's
updates) change the "2"s in G_percent(row, nrows, 2); to 3 or larger.

That gives how often to update (here every 2%). For a fast processes it
just slows you down to draw a new %-done every 1%. It's not a real
fix, but it might help diagnose the problem.
