I'm having an unusual problem when opening diskfont.library...

Actually, there is no problem in opening it, IF it exists in the libs:
dir. But, if it isn't in libs:, my system crashes with nice guru 00000004.
(illegal instr). 

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Here's the code I am using:

if (!(diskfontbase = OpenLibrary("diskfont.library", 33L)))
{
	alert(0); /* my routine to display an alert which DOES work correctly*/
	Close_All(); /*closes all opened libraries, windows, etc*/
	exit(FALSE);
}

diskfontbase is of type struct Library... Control never makes it out of the
if... line if diskfont.library doesn't exist, but works fine if it finds it.

Any ideas? Thanks.
Bob
