Hi:

  Robert is temporally out-of the net, so in the middle time:

Can you try the following:

redir -e error rhide

and when RHIDE crashes look if the file error have anything?, if it have 
something post it.

Can you try with the DJGPP gdb? (or that's the Unix debugger that you named?)

Can you try the same under plain DOS using CWSDPMI as DPMI server, perhaps in 
this way the "redir -e error rhide" will report more information about the 
problem.

  You have access to CWSDPMI, is in the v2misc directory of the DJGPP 
distribution, and I guess you can choose to boot your old DOS from Win95 or 
just use a disk with DOS 6. But I'm guessing ;-)
