	What rev of OS2KRNL do you have? I seem to recall that one of the fixes 
in the testcase kernels was related to a crash in DOSCALL1 with more 
that 512 MB of memory and a P4. The latest testcase kernel that I am 
aware of is 14.104a. The kernels are available for Warp 4 /eCS systems 
and WSeB uni and smp systems.

	I have both the uni and smp versions of 14.104a if you need them.
