Well, I checked the executable of Luc (thanks Luc!) on my machine
and it gave the same results as my executable: It crashed 2.0, but 
1.3 passes with 1 FLAW. I could not check under DOS, since the executable
was not bound. I tried to bind it with my libraries, but it failed 
to run under DOS with a runtime error.

So, this establishes that the difference in not caused by the difference
in compiler versions.
