Yes, the prompt comes back

The program only runs for a moment (blink of an eye) and the command 
prompt comes back. So I didn't have time to find it in the task manager.

I used strace from cygwin and got this:

user2 at panther /o/software/InsightApplications-3.12.0-build/ImageViewer
$ strace ./ImageViewer
--- Process 5784, exception C0000135 at 7C964ED1

user2 at panther /o/software/InsightApplications-3.12.0-build/ImageViewer

I'm not sure exactly how to turn the flag on. Should I just write 
"Debug" in the field labeled CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE... or should I write "ON"?
