DOS was so anemic and let programs get away with so many shenanigans
to get around its limitations, that I'm not at all surprised that some
of those workarounds came back to bite once those programs were moved
to a real operating system that did things like enforce memory safety
and isolate programs from the hardware.  That pain would have already
been suffered in the OS/2 world a few years before.
