 Could be a memory problem with Win95.  Try setting the pif to "protect
 conventional memory."
 That solved a lot of problems for me where Squish would cause all kinds
 of GPFs and whatnot.  It was hard to ponder since Squish worked fine
 for months with no problems, and then broke all of a sudden.  Dunno
 what the break was, but protecting memory fixed it.
 YMMV
 Good luck!
