The exact GPF in question is of the 'An error has
ocurred in your application, Ignore/Close' then 
'Application FOO caused a General Exception
Fault in module BUGGED.EXE at 0002:690B'.

By looking at the address in the .map file, it is
aparrently a part of the CString class:

0002:6900       ??4CString@@RECAFV0@AFV0@@Z
0002:6930       ??4CString@@RECAFV0@PFD@Z

Still, I shall continue to search for stray and
uninitilised pointers etc. If that doesn't work, I
shall just comment bits out until it works...

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.
