I have a frequent problems with Win98 getting frozen, when using vim
(version 6.0 for dos32 djgpp) under djgpp2.03 bash (ver.2.04.7).  The
system gets completely non-responding and the only way out is to restart
the computer.  These crashes happen quite randomly, usually while
exiting vim.  I found a reliable way of reproducing them by running

    vim -c q; vim -c q

This problem does not appear with vimd32 under ordinary dos box,
neither with MS-Win 32bit console vim under bash.
A relevant usenet post seems to be

however it is not clear to me how to fix the problem.

Can anybody help?  Thanks,
