I've been wondering if that could be the case; as the problems seem to be 
occurring in the versions compiled with OpenWatcom.

Life has a tendency to throw those curves at us at times...

Currently OpenWatcom 1.9 is used to compile the DOS, OS/2, and Win32 versions. 
The Linux version can be compiled with several different compilers, thanks to 
the work of Andrew Clarke.  The statically-linked Linux binary that was 
hatched for the last release was built using gcc 4.5.2 under Slackware Linux 
13.37.
