This has never happened due to 4Dos on my computer (XT clone)  I have had
memory parity failures, but that is due to some faulty connections or chips
scattered throughout the machine.  Can you use other commands w/o using
dir, and still get the failure when the first dir is issued?
If so, It could be a possible bug in 4Dos.  What version are you running?
I am using 3.01a, and am trying to get ahold of 3.02.

I have noticed that too.  On my firends AT, it isn't noticable.  I think
that only shows up on slow computers...
