<realloc on XVDATA leads to protection fault> I am mystified. realloc() is just a front end to malloc(), free(), and memmove(). Maybe you should write your own realloc? Wanna try something for me? Set your linker maxdata to something really large, say 5 megs, and see if the problem clears up. I strongly suspect that neither Metaware or Watcom were meant to run with a maxdata of 0, it works okay for a while, but maybe the realloc rubs the memory allocators the wrong way.
