Well, after playing fpctris (compiled for GO32v2 
with 2.0.4-rc3) for a while, it certainly doesn't 
seem to be valid for all programs using unit 
Graph. OTOH, I could reproduce RTE216 on startup 
of the Mandel and GravWars demoes... It's a pitty 
that the report didn't arrive somewhat earlier 
(not too much time for fixing it any more :-( ). 
I'll see what can be done about it.

(@John) BTW, the reporter mentioned he wasn't 
subscribed to our lists, so he didn't probably 
see your response anyway (I added him to Cc: now).
