I can guarantee a hangup under the same conditions if I swap to
extended memory from ms_sh.  If by chance you execute 'swap extend'
in any of your profile files at startup, change it to something else.

I run ms_sh 1.64 under Windows 3.0 on a 286 box successfully using
'swap disk' to swap to a RAM disk or 'swap off' to not swap at all.
