Anders,
Icon crashes are often related to a stack not being big enough. There are
two stacks (C language runtime stack and Icon value stack) that can
overflow.
I have seen Winicon crash before, and for some applications it
will crash on Win95/98 but not crash on WinNT/2000, so the stack
may be a bit more fragile on Win95/98.
Of course, it might not be a stack problem, it might be a logic bug
in the WinIcon runtime. Ways to diagnose: see if it reproduces
under WinNT/2000; see if it reproduces under Windows Unicon.
If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
Clint
