Ok, good for _you_, but that doesn´t help anyone using Win98.

Of course _only_ to reproduce this bug as simply as possible!
But _with_ changing the position it´s quite usual, if you try to construct
e.g. a mate problem by yourself.

As I´ve mentioned that _might_ depend on your free memory, which is obviously
much more than my 64MB.

Of course it might also be a problem with Arena and Win98 working _together_,
but IMO the _main_ fault is clearly in Arena.
And I´m now working more than 5 years with exactly _this_ Win98 on my notebook
without having any problems at all - at least not with programs which are
properly programmed!
