    Eric
    Thanks for the info. The machines I am using are W98 SR2 and
    W2000proSr2.

    Your comment encouraged me to do some more hunting.

    It seems to only crash if the problem is set up with non-zero
    frequency.

    The previous build did not do this, I ran the same model without
    issue.

    Perhaps David can shed a little light on this?
