Yes. This is a common "feature" of DJGPP compiled programs that use mouse when
running in WinNT 4.0.
If you run such a program and produce a mouse interrupt (by moving or clicking)
the program dies (and also kills mouse support for that DOS-box). Starting the
program again usually works fine (but without mouse). I've seen this behavior
on various programs compiled with DJGPP v2.x. e.g. there is a version of DISPLAY
somwhere around that shows similar behavior.
There are also some interresting effects if you activate a different window
between the two invocations of the program.
BTW: Isn't there a commandline switch (-M ?) for RHIDE to make it work
better with NT's mouse handler?
Ever tried to install NT 4.0 without mouse ? Bloody job :-)
