This is exactly what I have seen. I think you will also find that if you try
and rebuild your Win95 DLL enough times, (usually 2-3 is all it takes) it will
eventually check out OK. The garbage characters sometimes appear at the end of
the relocation section in the DLL, and sometimes they don't.

BTW, sorry for messing up this thread. The subject line on my original reply
