I'm pretty sure I've gotten the same crashes under compiled-by-Watcom as 
I did when compiled-by-Borland on at least two libraries.  Most did seem 
to work with the interpreter, though.  (Maybe not all Watcoms are the 
same?  I am using the Watcom upgrade along with the libs taken from 
Hutch's MASM as suggested by Euman a long time ago.  Or maybe it is not 
just Watcom .dll's it doesn't like.)  Give me a day or two and I'll put 
some stuff together and send it to you...
