Most of my crashes have happened while stepping through the debugger.

Once in awhile it will cause a SYS3175 error, then when I look in the output
directory the .exe is 0 bytes long.  May or may not be related.  Haven't
determined the exact sequence to reliably produce this error.

Hopefully by the time Borland gets up to 3.0 it will be stable.
