Just a thought on this, from something I ran into while trying to compile an 
old Turbo Pascal v7.0 program on Win2K, part of the code involved calling
command.com to do some stuff, and then spawning a child process for a few
other things, but I traced the crash to the moment that any child
process tried to do any file access, it died. So just an idea to look at 
the code of SetEdit or anything, and see where it calls spawn(), or
maybe just try something that you know will write a file.
