The compiler automatically inserts these initialisation calls into the
start of an ordinary FB application, which will certainly crash if you
repeat the INITGRAF etcetera.

An application compiled with the mini-runtime, on the other hand, _must_ do
its own initialisation, including some or all of:-
 CALL INITGRAF(REGISTER(A5)-4) ' QuickDraw
 CALL INITFONTS                ' font manager
 CALL INITWINDOWS              ' window manager
 CALL INITMENUS                ' menu manager
 CALL TEINIT                   ' text edit manager
 CALL INITDIALOGS(_nil)        ' dialog manager
 CALL INITCURSOR               ' standard arrow cursor
