Before anybody calls me a dirty old man, I already know that. Why else would you learn to play Mahjongg?

Anyway. I can't seem to get it running. When I execute it I get no ROM errors, but MAME tells me that there's a problem with the sound emulation. After I type OK the game exits with a "abnormal program termination." Can anybody else verify this problem? I'm using .84 command line MAME.
