Congratulations!

It drove me nuts, too, before I solved it.
But amazingly, it is documented - but it's one of those explanations that you only
tend to find when you read the docs cover to
cover, (and only retain in your mind once you got burned by it), since the bus error
by itself wouldn't suggest which OS call was
"involved". :)
If I remember, I think they put the notice about this under the docs for FrmDrawForm,
or maybe some of the OS functions that call
FrmDrawForm.
