Yes, on my Pentium-4 machine the above produces a console
window for a tiny fraction of a second. It disappears
so fast you have to try it a few times to confirm what it is.
If someone wants to eliminate the console window entirely
when crash_message("") or free_console() is specified,
feel free. As I recall, the logic in this area is a bit complicated.
