Something funny is happening need help

I am trying to implement dijkstra's algrithm and this is the code. for some reason it seems to go into infinity loop. it doesn't even excute the cout statemtents.

First initialization of the matrix doesn't work . it prints garbage values in the last line.

It does not execute the cout statement cout <<"\n"<< "Yahoo";

I have been cracking my head for hours together. I hope some body can just help me out. I am trying to run this code on GNU/linux using g++. my skills of debugging with gdb are close to non-existant.

regards
bsd_linux

the code is here
