BTW, this sounds a lot like when I used to develop real mode
MSDOS programs. An errant pointer in MSDOS would frequently
crash the system and even scramble the hard disk. It was pretty
bad. Therefore, I'd do all my development on a protected mode
operating system (Windows NT or OS/2 16 bit), and only when it
was bug free would I even attempt to bring it up under MSDOS.
This approach saved me endless hours of misery.
I used Turbo Pascal instead. :)
