Well, another common problem in Win32 is that, AFAIK, on Win9x 
uninitialized data (pointers, tables) has random values while on WinNT+, 
they are set to 0.
This cause applications behave correctly on WinNT+ and crash on Win9x...

Running BoundsChecker or Purify, if you have them, often helps on these 
cases (but not always, alas).
