D - D alpha crashes with Win 98 (again)

Hi

I have just picked up on D again and, guess what, it again crashes with
a page fault on Win98, this time on start up.

I have had this on 0.25, 0.23 and 0.22 but not on 0.20.  Sorry, I
haven't been doing any testing lately.

I am using a version of DM C++ which reports as 8.25.1, in case that is
significant.

The problem is not the compiler, as the object code for a miminal program

int main(char[][] args)
{
  return 0;
}

is identical in 0.20 and 0.22 and the second one crashes.

It must be somewhere in the library.....

I have tried the following:

compile with 0.22, use library from 0.20  RUNS minimal and hello
compile with 0.25, use library from 0.20  PAGE FAULT ERROR with minimal.

I hope this helps.

Not at all. It wasn't difficult to spot.  0.26 works O.K. for me.

Thanks
