I am VERY new to Ocaml...

and I have to same problem with even the simplest functions.
For instance :

extern "C" void Caml_load_project(value v_0){
   CAMLparam1(v_0);
   String x_0 = String_val (v_0);
   C_load_project (x_0);
   CAMLreturn0;
}
extern "C" value Caml_show_refs(value v_0, value v_1){
   CAMLparam2(v_0, v_1);
   CAMLlocal1 (v_res);
   int x_0 = Int_val (v_0);
   int x_1 = Int_val (v_1);
   std::list<int> res = C_show_refs (x_0, x_1);
   v_res = Val_listInt (res);
   CAMLreturn (v_res);
}

And I noticed that if I add "flush" or "print" calls, it works.
So, I did :

external c_load_project : string -> unit = "Caml_load_project"
external c_show_refs : int -> int -> int list = "Caml_show_refs"

let load_project a_0 =
   c_load_project a_0 ; flush_all()
;;
let show_refs a_0 a_1 =
   let r = c_show_refs a_0 a_1 in flush_all() ; r
;;

and the functions 'load_project' and 'show_refs' work fine even 
interactively. I don't know why (I would be happy to know)... but maybe 
this workaround can help !

Bye,
Anne.
