I'm statically linking, but if you mean that you have an .exe
which should demonstrate the problem, then I can try it on my
win98 box and see if the problem is something specific to my
code (or, as you say, something which is fixed by your post-beta2
LuaSocket version).

I'm still waiting to hear from my testers about whether the exact
same binary I'm testing also crashes on winXP and win2000.  That
should make it immediately obvious whether this is a win98-specific
problem.  I expect to hear fairly conclusively within a day or
two.
