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

   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.
