Sounds like what I was going to suggest... use a tool like Purify,
BoundsChecker, etc., to find the problem.

You say it only occurs on Win98, but I'm willing to bet that's not
quite true.  If its a memory bug, its probably occuring everywhere,
just that the effects are more damaging on Win9x.  Purify only works
on NT-based platforms (so not 9x), but its worth it, IMO.
