odd C++ bug(?)

Okay, I have no idea what's happening here.
Those are the only places "killsMsgWep" variable is used, nowhere else.
So how can the initializion crash the program with such simple variable?
Am I missing something here or what's this about :S

That works completely fine when run in isolation, what compiler are you using? I'm guessing there must be something else in your code causing this, perhaps memory has been corrupted somewhere else in your code.

I'm using MSVC++ 6.0 (yes I know I should get the latest one).
If it's corrupted memory, how do I fix or prevent that, and what might be causing it?
EDIT: the program has over 40 files of source, could that affect in it too?

Is that array defined globally like your example indicates, or is it actually part of a class or something in your actual code?

it's part of a class under public:

And the init() function is too? In that case is the instance of the class you're calling init() on valid? if not then that could easily cause a crash.
If init() isn't part of the class, what instance are you accessing the array on?
Author
init() is in the same class as the array, and the class has many other defined variables and functions (bool, int, etc). And the others work just fine, but this new array I added causes failure
Yes but is the actual instance of the class you are calling init() on valid?
Also it may be helpful to show some more actual code, like the whole of the init function plus where it gets called from.

Sorry, I don't understand your question..
anyway, I removed the array just to test does the rest of the code work and now it doesn't, it did earlier though.
When I run debugger it gives me this:

It seems to me like the class instance you are actually calling init on is invalid, possibly a null pointer or just uninitialized e.g.:
MyClass myInstance;
myInstance.init(); // <-- good, valid instance of the class!
MyClass* myInstance;
myInstance->init(); // <---- bad! uninitialized pointer, not a real instance of 'MyClass'
MyClass myInstance;
myInstance.init(); // <-- good, valid instance of the class!
MyClass* myInstance;
myInstance->init(); // <---- bad! uninitialized pointer, not a real instance of 'MyClass'
