Shame on me for not taking a screen shot or jotting down the exact error
messages because I can not reproduce the problem.

FWIW, the dialogs with the error message look like the following:

rm.exe - Application Error

  X  The instruction at "foo" referenced memory at "bar". The memory could not be "read".

     Click on OK to terminate the program
     Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Unfortunately, I do not remember what were the values of "foo" and
"bar".  However, I'm pretty sure that "bar" was in the low area of
memory -- certainly not in the 0x61000000 range.
