error [35] on Windows Server 2003

[Frandalf]

I'm getting a error[35] general protection fault when I try to run my Clipper build application on a PC with Windows Server 2003. No problems on Windows XP, 98 or 95.
The app is rather large, smaller Clipper apps work fine.
I use Clipper 5.3 with its Exospace linker.

Any ideas?

Thanks

FOUND IT!

I use a batch file to build the app. There, after the compiling and linking, I use OPTEDIT with it's EXTRAMIN argument like this:

OPTEDIT MYAPP.EXE -EXTRAMIN 40000

Reducing this 40000 solved the problem.
Now, I only have to see if I can remember why I made it that high. It had something to do with building a VERY large index file, and I made the EXTRAMIN higher every now and then when I got problems as the index file got bigger. But I'm sure that a lower figure will do fine. Anyway, I could alwways run my app on the server with a lower value for EXTRAMIN (and avoid the index building there), while keeping the higher value on the W98, XP stations as long as they're happy.

In all, I think this may be interesting for anyone who uses OPTEDIT in a batch file and then forget all about it (like I did). When problems arrive, go back to your building batch file and reconsider!

Thanks GriffMG and TonHu for your help. All your response pushed me into experimenting untill I found the problem and that was all I needded.
