This is interesting since Its happening on three systems all running the

at resolving www.socois.cool did not make the machine crash but on the third
attempt I tried to have the system resolve www.pcorner.org and it crashed
hard with a fatal exception 0E VXD error.

I can reproduce this on three totally different systems all running win98
4.10.1650 and IR 4.01 4.7.2106.8

Likewise, my Win98 Build 1708 system crashes hard when fed the address.
After a few second delay it complains about VFAT exception errors (strange
eh?) gives some 0E and 0D and finally dies.  I would not say this is an
isolated incident.
