It's a good idea to post the crash traceback also (hint, hint).

Are you sure the crash happened inside the `access' call?  If you are, 
can you please disassemble near the EIP value that was printed with the 
traceback and post what's there.  (E.g., in GDB, use the `disassemble' 
command.)  `access' issues quite a few file-oriented DOS calls, and it is 
important to know which one of them causes the crash, to come up with a 
work-around.

Which DPMI server are you using, btw?
