This is a common problem.  Version 1.08 fixed a bug in go32's .EXE
logic.  This was to allow a certain file access optimization, but
wasn't backward compatible with pre-1.08 versions.  You have a
pre-1.08 version of go32 on your path.  Type "go32" at the command
line to see which one you're running and where it's coming from.
