This dialog appears:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."

Confirming the dialog results in another one. There is no end to this cycle.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete is unresponsive at this time, though Windows continues to

The attempt to close the shell will hang that window.

    which has - partly - been fixed with the 20050905 snapshot:

    * spawn.cc (av::fixup): Do win16 detection for .com files.  Make sure
      that buffer has been unmapped in all cases.
