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?
