Exiting DOS kills Win3.1

I frequently run one or two DOS sessions under Windows.  I have PIFs set for
DOS so it opens as a window, rather than taking the entire screen.  I'm also
running WideAngle, so I have 9 "screens", mostly empty.

When I exit DOS, I sometimes crash Windows without any message.  Suddenly I'm
out of Windows and usually I need to reboot.  This more often happens when I 
exit the second DOS window after successfully exiting the first DOS.

Anybody know what is going on, or where to look for a clue?
