I don't get any NTVDM crashes at all - but I'm running a patched NTVDM.  I
do
get messages from the stub about being out of DOS memory - so I'm going
to try and see the DOS memory map when I get one of those errors.  Another
difference is SP levels on Winnt, but I'll hoping this is a difference in
environments.
Strange, but I'm glad it helped.

(Crash in GCC with limit around 1affff):

No, this is something new and strange.  Looks like a stack overflow based on
the ESP and EBP values (I can't see the entire thing on the web page, and my
clio server is down due to a power failure).
