   [quotes me re: problems with bcx . . .]

   I'm real familiar with this, in a very different hardware environment:
   a 'real' IBM AT, 2.6 Mb RAM, Himem.  I get the same behavior with
   and without windows.

   Borland Tech Support had no ideas.  My experience is it MIGHT depend
   on how much extended memory I allocate to TKERNEL.  It MIGHT be
   the case that giving TKERNEL more memory makes me hang less often.

After a lot of playing around with config.sys, I managed to isolate the 
problem to the Microsoft mouse driver. I called Borland tech support, and
the person there said, "Yes, we know we have problems with the Microsoft
mouse; we suggest that you buy another one. We like Logitech." I plan to
give them back their program, instead. Anyone have any other C compilers
that they like for writing Windows programs?
