Ok, after further investigation, this is a /3GB boot.ini flag interaction.
Unfortunately, this is a critical flag for our application, so all our
machines are configured this way.  That is why I failed to realize its
significance before.

I understand if this is now too much of an obscure case for you to be
interested in.  If so, I'll try to look into it soon on my own.  I suspect
it must have been related to your MEM_TOP_DOWN change.

Actually, I needed both.  At least on Solaris, strcasecmp is in
strings.h. strcpy and others are in string.h.

Thanks for looking into the matter.  I appreciate your time.
