I use rhide 1.4.9.1 with W98se, in a DOS box without this problem.

The shortcut file rhide.pif contains as program
c:\djgpp\bin\rhide.exe -y

I can launch a DOS box, then type simply rhide (I do not know if in this case
dos calls directly the exe or the pif, i.e. adds the -y parameter).

I have also set a file type .gpr opened with the command
c:\djgpp\bin\rhide.pif "%L"
(for LFN file name). In looking with regedit I have suppressed in the open command
the extra %1 parameter that windows adds automatically at the end of the open command
(probably because I had problem sometimes with this spurious extra parameter,
but I do not remember exactly what: I had problems with this several times
for several file types).

In neither case does ctrl F1 produces a crash.
