I'm not sure what the report is about.  If they're just running out of
environment space, that's a limitation of Win9x that bites any number of
programs, but (up to a limit) is easy for users who experience it to worm
around by editing their Windows config.sys:

If the problem is deeper than that, or the sum of all environment variables
the user has set exceeds 4KB, I think "get a real OS" is the best solution
(I'm typing on a Win98SE laptop right now, but I'm under no illusion that it
will stay up long enough to send this <wink>).
