     This is baffling, because I've been programming with filePro for over
20 years now for a couple of dozen customers who have many Windows and
filePro servers deployed, but I've never seen a "bus error".  I've gotten
segmentation violations a couple of times when I had corrupted code, but
never bus errors.  

     I think you may have either some bad hardware or corrupted filePro
modules.  I'd bet that if you reloaded filePro off of the master CDs and, if
that doesn't do the trick, got a new server, your problems would go away.

     The only other thing I can think of is that you're doing some system
calls within filePro or doing something else in filePro that is a -lot-
different than the rest of us are doing.
