That's one I whipped up a few years ago. It too will crash if a 'beep' is
happening when another beep comes along. Comes from not having a re-entrant
routine. I initialized the audio device outside the routine that replaces
DisplayBeep(), and of course the program assumes it can use the audio device.
I never did fix it up. If anyone is interested, I could mail the source (it's
up on Compuserve).

Personally, I use a little program called 'setbeep' that allows a digitized
sound. My Amiga now 'drips' at me.
