The DOS version of the OpenWatcom debugger (BINW\WD.EXE) behaves strangely
when using FreeCOM on Win98. There are no problems with WD when using
Win98's COMMAND.COM on Win98, nor are there problems when using FreeCOM on
FreeDOS rather than Win98.
The problem I'm experiencing is that WD will step *into* (F8) function
calls when I hit F10 to trace while stepping *over* calls.
WD is plain old goofy. It has had a "slightly unstable" reputation under
DOS for over ten years. You could be seeing nothing more than the OS
memory image having different byte values at a particular location(s), or
slightly varied free memory values, or an internal operation delta which
isn't part of the DOS documented interface.
Or WD could be unhappy with the memory drivers. Check with and without
HIMEM and EMM386 or try Microsoft versions of same under FreeDOS, see if it
makes any difference.
