SOIL unhadled exception

I've wrote about this problem in few forums, but no one was able to help me.

I am trying to load texture into OpenGL using soil with something like this:
int LoadGLTextures()
{
/* load an image file directly as a new OpenGL texture */
texture[0] = SOIL_load_OGL_texture
(
"bg.png",
SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y
);

if(texture[0] == 0)
return false;


// Typical Texture Generation Using Data From The Bitmap
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);

return true; // Return Success
}

And call
glEnable( GL_TEXTURE_2D );
glShadeModel( GL_SMOOTH );

before it.
App launches and returns unhandled exception here:
// SOIL.c
int query_NPOT_capability( void )
{
/* check for the capability */
if( has_NPOT_capability == SOIL_CAPABILITY_UNKNOWN )
{
/* we haven't yet checked for the capability, do so */
if(
(NULL == strstr( (char const*)glGetString( GL_EXTENSIONS ),
"GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two" ) )
) //############ it points here ############//
{
/* not there, flag the failure */
has_NPOT_capability = SOIL_CAPABILITY_NONE;
} else
{
/* it's there! */
has_NPOT_capability = SOIL_CAPABILITY_PRESENT;
}
}
/* let the user know if we can do non-power-of-two textures or not */
return has_NPOT_capability;
}

Am I missing other initialisations?
