:I've never heard of this one...anyone have any information ?

	This has happened to me a number of times over the years (has it
really been years?).  It doesn't seem to be limited to any one program...
Due to the extreme illregularity of the problem I was never able to trace
it, but suspect a problem in LoadSeg().. Like perhaps LoadSeg() doesn't
return sometimes.

	Unfortunetly, DOS has a bad habit of slowly going insane when
buggy programs are running (as opposed to crashing the system immediately),
so it might also be some well-used program causing the problems.
