This is because DOS expects there to be some extra info appened to the
end of the Task structure, which is only present when you are a process.

The only gotcha would be that OpenLibrary() requires you to
be a process, so unless your main process does the
OpenLibrary for the child task, you have the potential to
go BOOM.

Its not clear from you posting, but is SQRT the only function
your using from that lib, or the only function from that lib giving
you greif?
