Did you try the latest version?  I fixed several bugs that 98 doesn't seem
to catch but that 2000 does (mainly it was an incorrect structure--as
usual).  If the new code still crashes, can anyone isolate where the crash
comes from in the EuCOM code?  A good way is to translate/compile with the
registered version with trace turned on.  I'd be willing to compile the code
for anyone if you don't have the registered translator.

It's also important (for reasons I can't figure out) to use the version of
tk_mem.e that ships with EuCOM.  Freeing memset owners immediately after the
rest of the memset is freed results in crashes.  The only change I made was
to delay freeing them imediately.  It waits until there are 10 or 11 of them
[owners] waiting to be freed, so the impact is less than 50 bytes (assuming
the owners were just placeholders for memsets), but it allows everything to
function.

You can get the latest version on the Euphoria Contributions Page or my own
page:
