Since then, I've fixed the problem (that I've been having for over a
year now.

I was roaming through Dr. Bob's clinic, minding my own business, when I
chanced on the following tidbit:

It turns out that certain program manager extenders such as Plugin and
PCTOOLS trap interrupts which cause the Delphi 1.0 integrated de{*word*81}
to fall over with a GPF in PASDBK16.DLL. Unload the offender and the
problem goes away. At least it did for me.

Eric, tell me if the above applies to you. You might be getting a GPF in
that DLL for a different reason.
