I don't think anyone has worked out any details of what's going wrong yet. 
Plus it seems perfectly acceptable to restrict the affinity of the program to 1
cpu core, since Windows 95, 98/ME never had SMP support and later versions of
Windows have compatibility modes which could be potentionally working around
this issue too.
