When you say "the program stops", do you mean it freezes, without ever 
hitting output processing, or do you mean it "stops" in the sense that it 
successfully finishes?

What makes you think it doesn't execute any @once code when not in the 
debugger?  Does the code interact with the user in any way?

If you put a MESGBOX at the start and end of @ONCE, are they executed?
