Calling Forms 4 from a C program.

Oracle provides a function ifzcal() to run forms 4 from within a C program. In Sql*Forms 3, the function used to be called iapcal().
The Oracle Forms User Guide version 4.0 refers to this function on page 23-13.
Our product runs forms from within the program. We are in the process of moving to Forms 4 and when I try to used ifzcal() function, it crashes. The function iapcal in forms 3 used to work fine.
Has anybody else encountered the same problem?
The following example will demonstrate the problem.
main()
{
ifzcal ("f40runm form_name scott/tiger"); }
Make an executable of the above file by linking it with the Oracle libraries which are used to create the f40runm executable as defined in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib/sqlforms40.mk.
BTW we are using Oracle 7.0.15.4 and Forms 4.0.11.0.1 on SunOS 4.1.3.
Please help me if someone has encountered the same problem and knows a workaround.
