Lars,

The Windows graphics routines were reconfigured for Windows XP (16 bit code
was removed).  This may be why the failure does not occur there.

Based on my current understanding of the problem, it relates to how Amaya
makes calls to the OS graphic subsystem.  This is an area that probably
differs considerably from one platform to another, so I now suspect the
problem is unique to Windows 98.
