: Uff, with the lack of info, we can say anything useful. Can you
: produce minimal programs that reproduce this behavouir?

Ok, here is a small code that generates the probleme.

One code is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void)
    {
    return 0;
    }

It has to be compiled into a "b.exe" file.

A second code is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void)
    {
    int i=0;
    (void)system("cls");
    while (1)
          {
          (void)system("b");
          gotoxy (10,10);
          (void)printf("%d",i);
          i++;
          }
    return 0;
    }

As you can see, it lauchs b.exe an infinite number of times. If I run this
second code, I get a crash arround 2000-2500 on my system (under Windows
98). If you want to see the error message, you should launch this NOT in full
screen mode.

Any help is welcomed!
