Thanks, Anthony,

You've cleared up the PortAudio problem. I'd inadvertently omitted rtpa.dll 
from my "single-directory" solution.

Of course I try everything on a complete install as well. (For live 
performance reasons, I've a significant interest is running things with as 
compact and simple a "version" of Csound as possible. The fact is that my 
realtime .csd's and standalone Lettuce executables run in a single directory 
with no environment variables and only about 10 supporting files. For 
potential performers, including those not Csound proficient, I need to know 
about and make this option available. Otherwise our performance work will 
remain limited to the Csound community.)

So, this only leaves all the original Csound5.10.1 issues with which we 
started!

Just for clarity:
my tests was done on a standard install of 5.10.
(segfault on Ctrl-C)
