I'll give it a shot (I'm a chronic newbie so this might be wrong).

There's the call asking for an address for BlockInput.

There the application exits, right after GetProcAddress returns 00000000.

Look up GetProcAddress in MSDN:
http://www.google.com/search?q=GetProcAddress&btnI

It says:  "If the function fails, the return value is NULL."
Which seems to be what we're seeing.

It also says: "To get extended error information, call GetLastError."
Luckily, the source code is LGPL and we know that there are bits and
pieces missing of it, so an easier way than calling GetLastError is to
just grep the sources for kernel32 and see if BlockInput might be
missing (probably not a bad guess)...

HTH, hope I'm not way off.
