I agree with you. Because RHIDE didn't run under Windows 3.1 I tried many,
many things to find the problem. After some days I found the solution in
removing a pair of disable() and enable() in the function, which was called
by the mouse handler.

I think, if some has the time to check all the cli's and sti's in libc,
maybe also the problems with running GDB under windows 3.1 will be
solved.
