Hi! Alexey,

I know this.  :)  But it's one of those conditions that can creep up on a
sysop without warning.  It's best to make sure the basic configuration file
is 'sound' before attempting further fixes, I think.

Really!?!  :)  I don't recall FE ever causing a GPF.  Usually it was me
doing stupid things because of inadequate hardware to run Windows in the
first place, and basically affected mailers and BBS programs.

I just checked an old config file's buffer size and can verify I've had
mine set for 512k for almost exactly the last 6 years - it's dated
22/3/2000.

Cheers,
Paul.

P.S.  How is the weather in St Petersburg?  (It's a cool +25C here.)
