The Libgd is Coughing up Errors

This code crashes on gdImageGifAnimBegin

Code:

---

#include <gd.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, CHAR ** argv)
{

    gdImagePtr im = gdImageCreate(100, 100);
    FILE * out = fopen("anim.gif", "wb");

    if(out)
    {
        gdImageGifAnimBegin(im, out, 1, -1);
        gdImageGifAnimEnd(out);
        fclose(out);
    }

    gdImageDestroy(im);
    return 0;
}

I can't understand why it is failing on this section. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 8, and the bgd DLL is compiled with VC6 under multithreaded mode

Is it the difference in the compilation mode?
