I have written a small C program to close an OM list when given the list
number.  I get a segmentation fault about 50% of the time when using this.
Does anyone see an obvious problem:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fox/om_user.h>
#include <fox/om_ecode.h>

void errorCheck(int);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        struct header_node om_list_hdr;
        struct open_var vars[1];
        int ret, list;

        if(argc != 2)
        {
                printf("\nUsage: %s list_number\n\n", argv[0]);
                exit(1);
        }

        list = atoi(argv[1]);

        om_list_hdr.task_status = OM_RW_ACCESS;
        om_list_hdr.net_adr_tbl_ptr = NULL;
        om_list_hdr.open_list_ptr = vars;

        ret = omclose(list, &om_list_hdr, vars, NULL);
        errorCheck(ret);

        return(0);
}

void errorCheck(int returnValue)
{
        if(returnValue != OM_SUCCESS)
        {
                printf("error: %d\n", returnValue);
        }
}
