i've got stevie 3.10a source, and have run it on the amiga, MS-DOS, VMS, and
iRMX.  on the last two, it frequently dies with various protection errors.
on ms-dos, it locks up frequently.  on the amiga it causes enforcer hits but
doesn't lock up as much as the others.  haven't tried to fix it.  is there
a newer, more improved stevie out there?  would be nice to be able to do
