Nope, that's not it since I run both cache in Win95 and DOS and specifically
pause in the program so that the cache gets enough time to flush out to
disk. It's definately not the disk cache :(

I always use smartdrv even in Win95 and never had eny problems, maybe I'm
lucky so far... besides, compiling without disk cache is a real pain
sometimes...
