Sorry, I don't use email.  Would you like a large .uue posted here? (No.)
I've posted the .zip'd .exe to Rapidshare (click "Free User"):
  http://rapidshare.com/files/152493125/PROB.ZIP.html

Although the original source is consistent for v2.03, the modified assembly
version seems to be intermittent.  So, I only posted v2.04 of the modified
assembly which seem more consistent.  The .exe's fail for me under MS-DOS
v7.10 (both safe mode and normal command prompt) and Win98SE dosbox.

It doesn't seem to be the DPMI host since it fails under Windows and all
other hosts.  When v2.03 fails, setting some DOS vars for the v2.03 version
corrects the problem...
