There might be some incompatibility between the garbage collector and 4D's
code. To ensure this is not the case, remove the call to cl_boot() and call
instead GC_init(). If the collector still crashes then this is the culprit.
Otherwise one would have to look for other causes. BTW, for safety when
embedding in multithreaded applications I would recommend *not* using
--enable-gengc
