But r5 and r4 should use the same amount of RAM and disk, which means
there is probably some wiggly left - probably in the paging stuff 
especially when nested.  I also changed compilers - so the possibility
of a compiler bug in 32-bit arithmetic is also there (seen it before...)

It could be a tight memory issue.  A 386 issue. A Himem vs vcpi issue.
Hard to tell at this point.
