    Guys?  Can I point out the obvious possibility that you both seem to 
have overlooked?

  Rather than arguing about either "it does crash on 98" or "it doesn't 
crash on 98", and since you've *both* _actually_ tested it, AND GOTTEN 
DIFFERENT RESULTS, don't you think that you should both conclude that "It 
crashes on some 98 installs and not others", and therefore that the 
determining factor is not the OS version anyway, but something else that's 
different between your two setups?

  It's a false assumption that it has to be all one or the other.

    cheers,
