That's usually a sign of a bad pointer reference in a call to
strace_printf.  I usually debug these by starting the program in the
debugger and setting strace.active = 1.  Sometimes I set a breakpoint in
strace::hello first.

Since I don't have a Windows ME available to me easily, I guess that
problem will have to languish.
