WD is plain old goofy. It has had a "slightly unstable" reputation under

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.
I think maybe you misunderstood what I said. I can't test "with and
without HIMEM and EMM386" because the problems with WD only occur when
using FreeCOM (not FreeDOS, i.e. the kernel) on Win98.
I don't think it's an officially supported configuration and FreeCOM
development and support seem moribund nowadays, so not sure you're going to
have much luck.
I would ask why you'd want to bother using FreeCOM under Win98, since it's
a rather strange mix prone to a number of potential pitfalls, but it's not
really any of my business so I won't.
WD is still slightly goofy, though.
