Sounds exactly like a problem we ran into. Do you get an error under NT4?
We kept getting a GPF under 95 but not NT. I don't know exactly what caused
the problem, but we got around it by adding kludge code to explicitly clean
up after objects. It may be that some objects weren't disposed of properly,
or some misbehaved objects didn't release MIAW, FileIO, or other object
references upon destruction, resulting in some sort of memory leak.
Circular object references may have had something to do as well. I know
this doesn't solve your problem but hope it gives you some leads.
