It's not that Pre-6 is flakey--it reliably crashes NTVDM. And taking out
the C:\Xy\XyWrite.app.tam from 6.0 didn't solve it. I'm trying pre-7 now.
It has a bug re holding down the repeating ctrl-v, ctrl-j, etc. that I use
for cursor control. But if it doesn't crash NTVDM, I can probably change
the .KBD file to get around that issue.

Hmm, with Pre-7, I have only the one NTVDM running. I'll now quit Tame-Xy
and see if it goes away. Yes, it does. So I'm going to see if leaving it
running crashes NTVDM (as pre-6 does).
