This is the real cause of the current misery: without a reproduction
scenario there is no way to find/fix the problem.

BTW I've tried both a real 'vintage 95' Win95, and the new OSR2 
that came with my new laptop last month. Gdb fails identically 
on both systems. Yet at the same time Martin tells us he does 
not see this problem in his class.

Perhaps the answer is to wait for Win98...  :-)
