This dialog appears:
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
Confirming the dialog results in another one. There is no end to this cycle.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete is unresponsive at this time, though Windows continues to
function. Any attempt to shutdown Windows will hang.
The attempt to close the shell will hang that window.

PS: Seems to be still the same problem Sean Gugler reported on 03 Sep 2005
which has - partly - been fixed with the 20050905 snapshot:
* spawn.cc (av::fixup): Do win16 detection for .com files. Make sure
that buffer has been unmapped in all cases.
