You will see in section 12.2 that this message comes from CWSDPMI.  It
means you crashed the machine so badly that CWSDPMI aborted itself.

It's of _great_ help.

The code which crashes is at 0x3af9d.  Can you see what's there?  One
way is to load the program into GDB, then type "list *0x3af9d".  You
should see the listing of several source lines around the point where
it crashes.  If "list" doesn't work, try "disassemble 0x3af9d", which
should at least say inside what function did it happen.
