I have observed the following decidely unfriendly behaviour in
attempting to install the BonusPak upgrade for OS2 3.0 Japanese.  During
the course of installation, two files fpwwps.dll and fpwrec.dll are
installed.  As soon as this is done, the installation hangs and a series
of messages start that the system was unable to load a segment for
FPWWPS -> FPWREC.10.  These messages come every 15-30 seconds and
completely destablize the system.  Rebooting does not help.  The two
dlls must be removed to stop the problem.

I suspect the problem involves unchecked for differences between the
host version of OS2 and the version of OS2 expected by the BonusPak, a
problem I have seen before in OS2 upgrades.
