Hi Folks,

Well I ran into something a little odd and was wondering if anyone else has
had the same happen to them. I have 2 machines, Machine A runing Warp 3 FP39,
machine B running Warp4 FP9. I have now discovered 2 pieces of S/W that will
run fine on machine B, but fail on machine A with a TRAP 5. Here is the log
from one of the failures -

=======================================================================

An interesting point is that BOTH failing executables were created by the same 

programmer (Pete Kvitek), and contain the text -

        MS Run-Time Library - Copyright (c) 1990, Microsoft Corp

so they appear to be created using the same compiler. Also interesting is that 
I have other S/W from the same person/compiler that appears to run fine on
both machines. Both failing S/W are simple text mode programs, one .EXE dated
April 1996, the other dated May 1998. 

Does anyone have any ideas/knowledge of a cause and simple fix here, or should 
I try a re-install/re-apply the fixpak to see if the problem just "goes
away"... Machine A runs 24x7 so I am loath to spend time re-building the boot
partition if I do not have to.

Any ideas welcome............pk.
