No such messages so far. But alot of hangs...

Yes. It's been chugging along while I've been to work today. It still
compiling, so no hang so far (after thirteen hours of compiling) with
CWSDPMI 4.

Not very easily. Does the new CWSDPMI use a lot more virtual memory
than the previous version?

I didn't that until I had rebooted and I used SCANDISK, but no
problems were found.

Yes, it's interesting.
