That is a compiler warning worth heeding, and could possibly be the problem
that may be crashing you. ie...if you declared a variable named "mapBlock"
and used the variable "mapblock", it's a totally different variable...because
C is case sensitive.
As John points out, in his message to you, that you say that you do perform
the functions that you didn't include in the code snippet...it's difficult to
guess why you're getting the problem that you are. The best thing to do is
to watch the program execute in SWAT.
In your answer to John's pointers you say:

If SWAT doesn't like your program...that is a clear indication that something
is wrong..however where that is...is questionable. Does your
MSG_GEN_PROCESS_OPEN_APPLICATION message do anything strange in the startup
of the program that you haven't shown us?
If it's saving the information to your file..you're doing something
right..however, if you're crashing, and glue is complaining, and your
compiler is complaining, and you can't get SWAT to run it ....then
something's wrong outside of the code snippet that you're showing us, as John
has confirmed what I thought..that basically the technique is right for what
you're doing...at least within our understanding. I think you're going to
find that your problem is somewhere else in your code, and that code...you
haven't posted.
