It may be that Windows 3.1 is uncovering previously hidden defects.

For example, we discovered a defect in our code related to the freeing of
an explicitly loaded DLL. This defect didn't cause a UAE in Windows 3.0a,
but did in Windows 3.1. (We were calling a function from a DLL which then
explicitly freed the DLL; as we returned from the function to hyperspace
we UAE'd. It seems that freeing DLLs is "more synchronous" under 3.1 than
under 3.0a.)
