It seems that I was a tad bit ambiguous with my post about the differences. 
However, in the time since that last post I was at work and working on this
problem.  Here is a quick summary:

1.  I now get the "Stack overflow!" message on all machines some of the time.
2.  I am using Borland C++ with stack checking enabled, large model.
3.  I am using int 0x33, function 0x0C to install my own call mask and
interrupt handler ( I am NOT replacing int 0x33).
4.  It is not a problem with my interrupt handler, since it is NEVER reached. 
I set a break point at the beginning of it, touch the mouse, BOOM, stack
overflow.
5.  I just ordered the Logitech Mouse Programmer's Toolkit and pray to God that
it is better than that Mouse Programmer's Reference from MicroSlough.

I downloaded Logitech Mouse.COM 5.01 and it solved the problem for about 45
minutes when it started happening again.  Reboot, still happened.  I have tried
Logitech 3.42, 4.00, 5.00, and 5.01.  I get stack overflow with all but 3.42. 
NOW, I am positive it is not a stray pointer somewhere since the code consists
of nothing more than installing the handler, showing the mouse, then exit on a
keyclick.

And the code is not outright broken, since some times, rather arbitrarily, it
works fine, exits fine, etc.  Other times, I just bump my desk and the program
explodes.


Hmmm...

Any help would be appreciated once again, and thanks to those that sent the
first wave of replies :-)
