Niel Kempson fixed that bug in the OS/2 version of KA9Q *ages* ago: I
believe he said that it was something to do with (yet another) improperly
initialized (or perhaps it was dereferenced) pointer.  Was that right,
Niel?

Apparently, and this is only hearsay, there are many places in which KA9Q
gaily goes ahead and uses a pointer after a malloc without bothering to
check whether the malloced area actually exists...
