I'm finding a pattern: it doesn't like being tossed into the

background under dv, it will crash back to the dos prompt with an

Undefined Error within a few seconds. I've tempfixed it by telling

dv that pp can't run in the background. Hasn't failed since. Means

it won't do background comms, but that's not a priority at the

moment.
