	Well I recieved 5.01 yesterday, installed today, and almost
threw it out the window tonight.

	Anybody know what the following error means:


	 (0)  Unrecoverable error 668 : Eval Stack Fault
	run-time error R6001
	-  null pointer assignment


	Doesn't look good, I know a MSC error when I see one.  You know
this is the 3rd revision of the Clipper product I have worked with  
(S87, 5.0, 5.01) in the last 3 years, and as far as I am concerned this
thing is still in alpha test mode.  

	The error happens before getting into any of my code (the first line
of code is a DISPOUT("MADE IT") and that never gets executed).  The 
particular project is about 7000 lines of code (re)written from scratch
when 5.0 came out.  The program has no warnings under the 5.0 compiler.


	Mike
