I'm helping someone to debug some code that was originally
written in GWBasic, converted to QuickBasic and is nearly
finished being upgraded to QB 4.5.  The code has several modules
that chain between each other.  It uses the latest version of
Btrieve for file management.  It has developed a bug  in the
upgrade process where it freezes the system in the middle of
executing a CHAIN command.  I'm inclined to suspect some subtle
interaction with btrieve as we have inspected the code leading up
to the call rather thoroughly.  We have an ON ERR handler in
place, but it is not called in this situation.  The program just
freezes.  I'm guessing that somehow memory is being corrupted,
but we're not doing anything fancy like PEEK, POKE, DEF SEG, etc. 

Got any tips?  Are there any problems in Btrieve that someone has
heard of. Is there a chance that upgrading to the Professional version
would solve this?

And just as an aside:  
Could one could  use the current version of
Btrieve(QBIXBTRV.OBJ) with  Visual BASIC for DOS
or does Novell have to come out with a new object file?
