Yes.  It's the one I downloaded at your ftp.  Now since seeing you ask, I
downloaded a fresh copy, checked the file attributes, it isn't a read only file,
and I tried again, but the same results.

Now I've also tried it with Dann's compile too, no help.  So I figured that the
partition that Crafty is on is a FAT partition (figured that might have effected
something), so I copied everything over to a FAT32 partition, but I had the same
problem over there.

So I tried a file of only 4 lines, it still crashed.  Here is the first line of
the epd:

1rb2rk1/pp2nppp/2n2q2/3N4/4P3/2P1Q3/PP3PPP/RN2KB1R b KQ - id "C.A.P.1"; acd 15;
ce -19; pv Nxd5 exd5 Bg4 Nd2 Rbe8 Ne4 Qf5 f3 Qxd5 Rd1 Qh5 Bd3 Be6 O-O Bxa2;

just in case there is something obviously broken there.

Getting this to work is certainly not an emergency, just something I thought I'd
try.  For what it's worth, this is an old 90mhz computer, I don't know if that
would effect anything.  Importing my old .lrn file into the new copy of the book
went smooth as glass.
