Hi! Alexey,

I know this. :) But it's one of those conditions that can creep up on a sysop
without warning. It's best to make sure the basic configuration file is
'sound' before attempting further fixes, I think.

Really!?! :) I don't recall FE ever causing a GPF. Usually it was me doing
stupid things because of inadequate hardware to run Windows in the first place,
and basically affected mailers and BBS programs.
I just checked an old config file's buffer size and can verify I've had mine
set for 512k for almost exactly the last 6 years - it's dated 22/3/2000.
Cheers,
Paul.
P.S. How is the weather in St Petersburg? (It's a cool +25C here.)
