I suggest you try and run your application under Windows 3.1, if at all
possible.  That way the UAE will be replaced by a General Protection Fault,
which has the advantage of showing you *where* your program crashed.  Armed
with that address and a linker map you can then find out which function
the problem is occurring in, and track it down from there.

Best wishes,

Chris
