This is a bug in win95. When it switches away from a DOS app because of
a window popping up or you pressing the 'start' key, it fails to save
all the info needed to restore SVGA modes. But it works fine if you
alt+tab away from the app: why Microsoft couldn't have used the same
code for both cases is beyond me :-)
