Some such cases include:

     - when the exception happens inside the DPMI host;
     - when the exception handler itself crashed (seems to be your
       case).

This is explained in any good manual for the Intel CPUs; the info is
too long to post here.

If you need more help, try posting the crash traceback in its entirety
(if you get different numbers each time, post several tracebacks).
Even though the stack trace isn't there, the other info might include
crucial hints to the nature of the problem.
