I downloaded the latest CVS yesterday to see how well Clipper handles
protected mode, and found that the record locking problem still exists: 
On a very large application, when it goes to lock a record for editing,
the application hangs.  On another test program with the exact same
locking mechanism, it works perfectly.

What debug flags should I put in to track where the problem begins?  I
tried debugging everything, but the resulting log is something like 20
megabytes and I still don't know what to look for or where to find the
point at which the crash occurs!  Maybe I would be better off using
dosdebug to isolate the moment the application freezes, but I'm even
stupider in that area... I don't know what commands would show me what
is going on during the application.

I think I mentioned once before that the problem does not occur when I
use freedos, only when I boot to the native Win98 partition. 
(correction... I just installed an old MSDOS 6.22 system disk and found
the same lockup occurs when I boot to that OS as well).

If you (Bart) like, I can put both the "good" and "bad" EXEs on a web
page for downloading, but they are very large... over 4MB each.
