Neither am I.  I just wanted to know.  (Maybe the new stub in 2.8.1 is 
incompatible with something in 2.02?)

That gives me an idea.  Didn't 2.02 change the stub as well?  If so, you 
will need to make Binutils use the new stub when linking.

Write behind shouldn't be the problem, since Windows doesn't crash, so 
its cache should not go away.

Does redir crash as well, or just exits as if all were well?

Did you try SCRIPT?

Can you tell whether the crash happens before or after `main' is called?  
That would narrow the area where the problem might be.

Another thing to try is to run it under a debugger.  Try EDEBUG at first.
