I dont want anyone wasting time on such a little bug. Anyway when I tested go32
it was on a IBM PS/2, a 286 with 300 something ks of XMS.
As you say, that machine is not supposed to hang.
Anyway, ain't no way to know the machine ? an int or something ?
I'm willing to write a kinda .BAT for detecting the machine before running
the .EXE
