I have seen a program running on a AMD K5 100 Mhz. It disabels the
Level 1 cache and since then the internal Error from Clipper is gone.

It works!
The program name is CACHECTL.EXE
I don't know ho wrote the program. Unfortunally i could not find
any doc with it were to get it.
With this program you can disable and enable the L1 cache on the
processor like you could do in the BIOS. If the cache L1 is disabeled
than Clipperprograms will run fine (don't ask me why) on a AMD K5. You
now can write a *.bat file with -disable cache / run myprog / -enable
che.
I have also found another program called CACHECHK.EXE
This program only checks how fast the cache (L1 to L6???) are. I only
mention this here becouse of the simularity of the name of the program.
The program cachechk.exe is postware and written by;
CACHECHK

I realy don't know if the program CACHECTL.EXE is also written by this
Ray van Tassle but i do know both programs have the same date and time
stamp. The docfile from cachechk has a different timestamp.
I think you could ask Ray if he knows who wrote cacheclt.exe
