Sorry if I wasn't able to respond to the posts in this thread for about a
week, I came down with a severe flu ~:-( I'm still feeling a bit drowsy.

The crash doesn't happen when older versions of IPE are running in the
background. The machine I use at work is fundamentally identical to the one
I use at home, in terms of ``innards'' and OS versions. But the one I use
at work has an older version of IPE. The crash doesn't happen on that machine.

Hmmm, could be right there. I'll try it tonight. BTW, the libc I use is one
that came with DJGPP, and I've used one compiled from DJLSR203. I didn't
make any changes to the DJLSR sources so I'm trusting that it is
essentially the same library as the crash happens when I link with either
library. Thanks for working on this too.
