All in all this looks ok to me. It must have to do with the compilation 
you used. Perhaps some structure misalignment. Can you run the ssphys 
command within the debugger? Please try to step through the function 
SSRecordFile* SSRecordFile::MakeFile (const std::string& fileName) in 
SSFiles.cpp. the first try catch block should return a valid record. 
Please check that record.
