Thank you for your help. Anyway, everybody is going to change Windows 95
for
the fantastic brand new Windows 98! ;-)
Let's hope __dpmi_yield problem will be history in this new world...

I'll do that until I upgrade my operating system.

Do you mean I should add a link to modified Bash binary on my Home Page,
or on a more "official" place. The only problem I see with adding a link
on my home page,
is that it's my school that hosts my web account, and since I am not a
student anymore, I don't know how long it will last.

All the merit is with you! (I guess it is not really idiomatic, but I
hope you'll
understand that anyway). Sorry for having wasting your time in vain with
this 
bug. Thank you VERY MUCH for your help. May every group be so friendly! 

Regards,
Philippe.
