My friend recently bought Stacker 3.0 and managed to figure out what was
wrong (at least for his machine).  He mentioned that the use of a
386 memory manager and running Stacker 3.0 with the /ems option caused disk
read/write errors.  He switched to the upper memory or conventional memory
configuration and mentioned that any problems were completely fixed.

I think that Stacker 2.0 had this problem with qemm as well, but it was
less frequent.
