millis + AFMotor lib problem

Heres the code I run

#include <AFMotor.h>
AF_DCMotor thrusterLeft(3, MOTOR12_1KHZ);
unsigned long time;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
  Serial.print("Time: ");
  time = millis();
  //prints time since program started
  Serial.println(time);
  // wait a second so as not to send massive amounts of data
  delay(1000);
}

The output I get is:

Time: 0

and nothing else…

Also, removing the delay just repeats Time: 0 so millis isn’t incrementing

I’ve narrowed it down to the declaration of AF_DCMotor, does anyone know why?

setup: ubuntu 8.10, dec 328
