What kind of incompatibility ?
Do you mean that you removed completely the NDS and made the 4.1 like
a 3.x ? Or did you move all the NDS objects on the "Bindery context"
of the server ? (I'm working with some objects specificaly created on
that context, to let some NETX clients access the 4.1 server but
maintaining lots of VLM clients ... and it works well)

How many memory do you have on the expansion board ? How many Gigs ?
How many Namespaces ?

I had some BAD crashes on my 4.1. Then I upgraded the streams.nlm and
spxs.nlm (you'll find on nwos/410 directory on theri ftp site) and the
crashes went away.
