I was wondering if someone could help me with the following problem:

I'm writing a program that reads a text file and builds a series of
linked lists from the data within.  So far I've used 4 different text
files as test examples and 3 out of the 4 work fine.
However, the 4th file, for reasons yet unknown, crashes the program.
The main function calls three phase functions, each of which read the
whole text file and do various things.  Using RHIDE's internal
debugger, I've discovered that the program stops dead at the end of
the first phase, right at the return call to the main function.  The
error being reported is a SIGSEGV one, which I really don't understand
anything about.  The program isn't doing anything with the data, or
the memory, or anything....all it's doing is returning to the main
function, and it gives me a SIGSEGV error.

Strangley, the program only works under QEMM 8.0's DPMI Server, and
Windows 95's Dos prompt.  When I try to use CWSDPMI, it doesn't work
at all.  (Which I find strange since I'm not using any DPMI related
functions as far as I can tell.)
