Since I started this chain, I may as well finish it. After getting a friend to post this to BIX, I received the suggestion, "increase stack space." AHA! I keep forgetting to think about stack space when Bad Things happen. I raised it to 20000 from 10000 and the problems went away. I don't even want to think of the hours I spent rebooting and rebooting and rebooting [thank God for bootable RAD:, except when the guru took me to KS]. So, if you've been having trouble with CPR 1.02, try increasing the stack. If you still have problems, please tell me, so I don't beat my brains out again when I run across them. Thanks!
